I love pasta but it is not always the healthiest thing to have for dinner. To make this baked ziti dish a little less guilty, I use ground turkey and add a carrot to the sauce. So tasty!
Ingredients
- ziti pasta: 1 pound
- onion: 1 piece (chopped)
- lean ground turkey: 1 pound
- jars spaghetti sauce: 2 piece (26 ounce)
- carrot: 1 piece (chopped)
- ounces provolone cheese: 6 piece (sliced)
- ½ cups reduced-fat sour cream: 1 piece
- ounces mozzarella cheese: 6 piece (shredded)
- Parmesan cheese: 2 Tbsp (grated)

Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the 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 the prepared baking dish as follows: 1/2 of the ziti, Provolone cheese, sour cream, half of 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.
