Ingredients:
13 oz whole wheat penne
3/4 lb asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 lb ground turkey
30 oz tomato sauce
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 pepper
1/2 c mozzarella cheese
1/4 c parmesan cheese, grated
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 Degrees. Bring large pot of water to boil and cook penne pasta according to package directions. When pasta is 1 minute from being done, add asparagus and boil for 1 minute, drain and return to pot.
2. Meanwhile, coat a large skillet with cooking spray and brown ground turkey with minced garlic, until lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Add tomato sauce, basil, salt, pepper and simmer until heated through. Add turkey to meat sauce to penne and asparagus and gently coat.
3. Lightly coat a 3 qt. baking dish with cooking spray. Add 1/2 of penne mixture to the dish and sprinkle with 2/3 of the cheese. Add remaining penne, then sprinkle with remaining cheese and top with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until cheese is melted. Let it rest for 5- 10 minutes before serving.
