PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  Cook the chickpea pasta in boiling water for 2 minutes less than the package directions until very al dente, then drain and set aside.

• 3

  Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion until translucent, about 4 minutes.

• 4

  Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned and fully cooked through.

• 5

  Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, black pepper, and fresh spinach, cooking until the spinach is completely wilted.

• 6

  Pour in the marinara sauce and simmer the mixture for 3 minutes to meld the flavors, then remove from heat and toss with the cooked pasta.

• 7

  In a small oven-safe baking dish, layer half of the pasta and meat mixture, dollop the ricotta cheese evenly over the top, and cover with the remaining pasta.

• 8

  Sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan cheese, then bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
