INGREDIENTS

5 oz Ground turkey sausage

0.75 oz Chickpea penne pasta

0.13 cup Part-skim ricotta cheese

1 cup Fresh baby spinach

0.25 tsp Extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp Sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• 2

  Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea penne for 2 minutes less than the package directions for a firm al dente texture.

• 3

  While pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey sausage, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.

• 4

  Season the sausage with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, browning until fully cooked through.

• 5

  Stir the fresh baby spinach into the skillet until just wilted, then pour in the marinara sauce and bring to a light simmer.

• 6

  Drain the pasta and fold it into the sausage and sauce mixture until evenly coated.

• 7

  Dollop the ricotta cheese over the top of the pasta mixture in small spoonfuls.

• 8

  Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the ricotta is warm.

• 9

  Garnish with freshly torn basil leaves before serving.
