PREPARATION

• 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 suggest, then drain.

• 3

  Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

• 4

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

• 5

  Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

• 6

  Pour in the marinara sauce and add the fresh baby spinach, stirring until the spinach has wilted into the sauce.

• 7

  Add the par-cooked ziti to the skillet and toss well to ensure every noodle is coated in the meat sauce.

• 8

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

• 9

  Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the surface and bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set.
