INGREDIENTS

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 tbsp Grated parmesan cheese

0.5 tsp Dried oregano

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

1 cup Fresh baby spinach

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• 2

  Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea ziti for 2 minutes less than the package instructions suggest to keep it al dente; drain and set aside.

• 3

  In a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula.

• 4

  Add the chopped baby spinach, dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the turkey, sautéing until the spinach is just wilted.

• 5

  Pour the marinara sauce into the skillet and add the cooked pasta, tossing everything together until the noodles are well-coated.

• 6

  Dollop the ricotta cheese over the pasta mixture and use a spoon to gently swirl it into the sauce.

• 7

  Evenly sprinkle the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses over the top.

• 8

  Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and begins to turn golden brown.
