I'm a little addicted to baked pasta at the moment, and tonight I really wanted some but didn't have the time to wait for it to bake the usual hour or so. So...I came up with this! Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups whole wheat pasta (i like rotini, it holds sauce well!) |
2 cups fat free pasta sauce |
1/2 lb ground turkey |
1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese |
1 cup frozen spinach |
1 garlic clove |
1/4 cup green pepper, chopped |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded |
3/4 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese (divided) |
garlic powder (to taste) |
basil (to taste) |
oregano (to taste) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Set aside.
3. Meanwhile, in a small pan brown ground turkey over med-high heat. Remove from heat and add spinach, herbs, and cottage cheese.
4. Combine pasta, meat mixture, 1/4 c mozzarella, and sauce in a 2 quart casserole dish. Stir well to combine.
5. Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, or until mixture is heated through.
6. Top with remaining cheese and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and casserole is nice and hot.
