5 oz Ground turkey (93% lean)

1.5 oz Chickpea ziti pasta

0.5 cup Marinara sauce (no sugar added)

2 tbsp Part-skim ricotta cheese

0.5 oz Part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 cup Fresh baby spinach

1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp Sea salt

1 clove Garlic

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F.

• 2

  Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea ziti for 2 minutes less than the package directions to ensure it remains al dente after baking.

• 3

  While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.

• 4

  Add the ground turkey to the skillet, seasoning with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, and cook until browned and crumbled.

• 5

  Stir the baby spinach into the turkey until just wilted, then pour in the marinara sauce and let it simmer for 2 minutes.

• 6

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

• 7

  Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe baking dish, dollop the ricotta cheese across the top, and sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella.

• 8

  Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden and bubbling.
