PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.

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

• 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 fresh baby spinach into the turkey until wilted, then pour in the marinara sauce and simmer for three minutes.

• 6

  Drain the pasta and fold it into the turkey and sauce mixture until every noodle is well coated.

• 7

  Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and dollop the ricotta cheese evenly across the top.

• 8

  Sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden and bubbly.
