Provided by Jessica Murfin

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Turkey     Ground Turkey Recipes

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (16 ounce) container low-fat ricotta cheese
1 (8 ounce) package shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (1 pound) package whole-wheat penne pasta
1 pound ground turkey
1 (13.5 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Stir the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl; set aside on counter to allow to come to room temperature.

BAKED WHOLE WHEAT PASTA WITH SPINACH AND MOZZARELLA



Baked Whole Wheat Pasta With Spinach and Mozzarella image

A fresh, light, dish. I am sure you could use regular pasta, but the whole wheat pasta with fresh mozzarella (not pre-shredded) is really what makes this extra good. Baked with a golden brown crust and gooey cheese. Start dinner with a bowl of tomato soup (your favorite recipe) and a toasted baguette with pesto and parmesan. And then enjoy the main course.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 , 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 lb whole wheat pasta (I prefer to use the small shells, or you could use a small penne or even a spaghetti)
1 large onion, cut in quarters and thin sliced
4 cups fresh Baby Spinach
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut in small cubes
3 teaspoons minced garlic
2 lemons, zested
1 1/2 cups sliced almonds, toasted
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup toasted fresh breadcrumb (you could also use dried, but the fresh are really worth it, See Below for Recipe)
3 -4 tablespoons olive oil (2-3 tablespoons to garnish the pasta, 1 tablespoon to saute the vegetables)
salt
pepper (I like lots of pepper for this dish)
2 slices bread, fresh everyday bread works best
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning

Steps:

  • Almonds -- In a medium dry saute pan on medium high heat, add the almonds and cook a couple of minutes until they get golden brown. Keep an eye of them, they do not take long.
  • Fresh Bread Crumbs -- If you are using dry bread crumbs, skip this step.
  • Chop up the bread fairly fine. Then in that same saute pan you used to toast your almonds in, bring to medium high heat and add 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. Toss in the bread crumbs, seasoning and toast until golden brown. They only take 1-2 minutes and stir often.
  • Pasta -- Cook the pasta according to package direction in salted boiling water. Drain well, return to the pot and toss with the olive oil and set to the side off the heat. As the pasta cooks, saute your vegetables.
  • Vegetables -- Once again, use that same saute pan and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and heat to medium medium/high heat. Add the garlic, onion and little salt and pepper and saute 2-3 minutes, then toss in the spinach and saute just a few seconds until the spinach is slightly wilted. Don't cook more than just a few seconds. Remove from the heat and stir in 1/2 of the lemon zest and 1 cup of the almonds. Add to the pasta along with the chicken broth. Check for seasoning, salt and pepper. Personally, I like to add some extra pepper.
  • Bake -- In a 13x9 or similar size baking dish, sprayed with Pam or any non-stick spray, add the remaining lemon zest. Then add 1/2 of the pasta, 1/2 the cheese; then the rest of the pasta, and the rest of the cheese. Sprinkle with the almonds, and then top with the bread crumbs and cover with foil and bake in a 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 10 minutes until the bread crumbs get golden brown.
  • Serve -- ENJOY! I like to keep it a bit healthy and serve with a bowl of tomato soup and a baguette with melted cheese.

  • 1. Turn the oven on to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add pasta and a big pinch of salt, and cook according to package directions, until al dente. Drain pasta and set aside.
  • 2. While water boils/pasta cooks, heat 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium heat (if you have one that's oven-proof, you can bake the finished dish right in the same skilled you use to make it in!). Add artichoke hearts and sautee for 5-10 minutes, or until golden and fully defrosted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and break up the artichokes with your spatula/spoon to get them into slightly smaller chunks. Remove artichokes from the pan and set aside.
  • 3. Put the remaining olive oil in the pan with the minced garlic and flour, and stir for about 30 seconds before adding the broth and whisking to remove any lumps of flour. Turn heat to high and, once boiling, return heat to medium and stir in the salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and frozen spinach (no need to squeeze out the liquid, but it helps if you break it up in the bag so it's not one giant lump, before adding it to the pan). Let cook for a minute or two, until spinach is defrosted.
  • 4. Turn off the heat and add half of the shredded mozzarella and all of the parmesan to the saucy spinach mixture. Add the drained pasta and reserved artichokes, and stir everything together. If you used an oven-safe pan, top the pasta with the remaining mozzarella and put the pan in the oven to bake for 15 minutes, or until bubbly and golden. If your pan isn't oven-safe, pour the contents of the pan into a large casserole dish, sprinkle with mozzarella, and bake. In either case, you may need to turn the oven to BROIL in the last few minutes of baking for an extra golden top and crispy pasta edges, if you're interested in either of those things.
