Acorn Squash Meatball Pasta Bake
Roasted acorn squash and lean turkey meatballs tossed with protein-packed chickpea pasta in a savory marinara sauce, finished with a golden parmesan crust.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz 99% lean ground turkey
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
1 cup acorn squash
0.5 cup marinara sauce
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and cube the acorn squash into half-inch pieces, then roast for 18 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water for 2 minutes less than the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper, then roll into 1-inch meatballs.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brown the meatballs for 6-8 minutes until cooked through.
In a small oven-safe dish, toss the roasted squash, cooked pasta, and meatballs with the marinara sauce.
Top with grated parmesan cheese and bake for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
