| Fully Loaded HG Baked Ziti 1/4th of ziti bake: 294 calories, 8g fat, 664mg sodium, 46.5g carbs, 17g fiber, 9g sugars, 24g protein -- PointsPlus® value 8* Ingredients: | |
| 5 oz. (about 1 1/2 cups) | uncooked FiberGourmet Light Penne Pasta, or HG Alternative |
| 1 cup | chopped onion |
| 1 1/2 cups | ground-beef-style soy crumbles, (like the kinds by Boca and MorningStar Farms) |
| 1 tbsp. | chopped garlic |
| 4 cups | spinach leaves |
| 3/4 cup | light or low-fat ricotta cheese |
| 2 tbsp. | chopped fresh basil |
| 1 1/2 cups | canned crushed tomatoes |
| 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp. | shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
| 2 tbsp. | reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping |
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray an 8" X 8" baking pan with nonstick spray.
In a large pot, cook pasta al dente according to package directions. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
Meanwhile, bring an extra-large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Cook and stir onion until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add soy crumbles and garlic, and raise temperature to medium high. Cook and stir until soy crumbles have thawed, about 3 more minutes.
Add spinach and cook and stir until it has wilted and excess moisture has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, pat dry, and stir in the ricotta cheese and basil.
Transfer contents of the skillet to the bowl of cooked pasta. Add tomatoes and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, and toss to mix.
Evenly place pasta mixture in the baking pan. Sprinkle with Parm-style topping and remaining 2 tbsp. mozzarella cheese.
Bake until entire dish is hot and cheese on top has melted, about 15 minutes. Eat up!
