• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.

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

  Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned and no longer pink.

• 5

  Stir in the tomato puree, fresh spinach, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper, simmering until the spinach is wilted.

• 6

  Combine the cooked pasta with the turkey and sauce mixture until every noodle is well-coated.

• 7

  Layer half of the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish, then add dollops of the ricotta cheese evenly across the layer.

• 8

  Top with the remaining pasta, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan over the top.

  Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are slightly crisp.
