1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F.

• 2

  Boil the chickpea ziti in a pot of salted water for about 2 minutes less than the package directions to ensure it stays firm during baking.

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the ground turkey until fully cooked.

• 4

  Season the turkey with garlic powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 5

  Add the fresh baby spinach to the skillet and stir until it just begins to wilt.

• 6

  Pour the marinara sauce into the skillet and stir to combine with the turkey and spinach.

• 7

  Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet, then gently fold in the ricotta cheese to create creamy pockets.

• 8

  Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe baking dish and top evenly with the shredded mozzarella and parmesan.

• 9

  Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the top is beautifully golden.
