Healthier Baked Ziti I image

I love pasta but it is not always the healthiest thing to have for dinner. To make this one a little less guilty, I use turkey and add a carrot to the sauce. So tasty!

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound ziti pasta
1 onion, chopped
1 pound lean ground turkey
2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
1 carrot, chopped
6 ounces provolone cheese, sliced
1 ½ cups reduced-fat sour cream
6 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C). Lightly butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti pasta and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and ground turkey until onion is translucent and turkey is no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Add spaghetti sauce and carrot; simmer until heated through, about 15 minutes. Layer ingredients into prepared baking dish as follows: half the ziti, Provolone cheese, sour cream, half the sauce mixture, remaining ziti, mozzarella cheese, and remaining sauce mixture. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven until cheeses are melted, about 30 minutes.

This baked ziti is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. It's cheesy and delicious, and the kids won't even know they're eating spinach.
