Healthy Baked Ziti

whole wheat ziti

olive oil

lb turkey

oz canned chopped tomatoes

oz tomato sauce

mozzarella (separated)

ricotta cheese

parmesan cheese

Basil

garlic powder

Pepper

Preheat oven to 350. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Boil ziti until al dente- approximately 6 minutes. Check your pasta box and I would suggest to cook ½ the time they recommend. Remember, the ziti will continue to cook in the oven!&nbsp;

While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a separate pan. Brown the turkey until completely cooked&nbsp;(approximately 10 minutes) + set aside.

In a mixing bowl, mix together 1 cup of mozzarella, ricotta, parmesan cheese, basil + pepper. Toss the cooked ziti with the cheese mixture and stir.

Stir in ground turkey, tomatoes + spices to pasta/cheese mixture. Pour pasta mixture into 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cup of mozzarella cheese on top of the pasta mixture.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes until cheese is melted.
