No Time!! Baked Pasta image

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!

Number Of Ingredients 12

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

garlic powder (to taste)
basil (to taste)
oregano (to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Cook pasta according to package instructions. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a small pan brown ground turkey over med-high heat. Remove from heat and add spinach, herbs, and cottage cheese.
  • Combine pasta, meat mixture, 1/4 c mozzarella, and sauce in a 2 quart casserole dish. Stir well to combine.
  • Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, or until mixture is heated through.

I'm not a big fan of ricotta cheese, but I really liked it in this dish. It added a nice creaminess.
