Baked Ziti

So anyone who knows my kids, knows they aren't the best eaters in the world. But this dish, was AMAZING! Doesn't taste healthy, tastes like a cheat meal! Evan had 3 helpings, Drew had 3 helpings and Lila had 2! Paired it with some spinach for my littles, and sweet peppers for me. Now I love me some garlic bread with pasta, but this time I roasted portobello mushrooms, put a little garlic powder and pink Himalayan salt and dash of EVOO. SOO good. Didn't even miss the garlic bread.

Ingredients

• 1/2 box Whole Wheat Pasta
• 1 red container Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese

• 1 tbsp each: Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Italian Seasoning, Oregano, Basil, Parsley, and Black Pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cook the noodles until al-dente. While pasta is cooking, brown the ground turkey. Drain turkey of excess fat renderings after cooking. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, pasta sauce, honey, seasonings, cooked ground turkey, and the cooked and drained noodles. Stir until well combined.

Pour mixture into a 13×9 pan. Sprinkle Italian cheese and parsley on top.

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and bubbly.
