INGREDIENTS

5 oz Ground turkey (93% lean)

1 oz Dry chickpea ziti pasta

0.25 cup Part-skim ricotta cheese

0.5 cup Marinara sauce (no sugar added)

1 cup Fresh baby spinach

1 tbsp Shredded parmesan cheese

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.5 tsp Dried oregano

1 clove Garlic

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• 2

  Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea ziti for 2 minutes less than the package instructions suggest so it remains al dente.

• 3

  While the pasta cooks, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground turkey and minced garlic.

• 4

  Cook the turkey until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula.

• 5

  Stir in the fresh baby spinach and cook for 1 minute until just wilted.

• 6

  Add the marinara sauce, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to the skillet, stirring to combine and simmer for 2 minutes.

• 7

  Drain the pasta and toss it directly into the skillet with the meat sauce until well coated.

• 8

  Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe baking dish.

• 9

  Place dollops of the ricotta cheese over the top and sprinkle with the shredded parmesan.

• 10

  Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
