Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water for seasoning. Cook the gluten-free pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon until it is no longer pink and fully cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
Add the chopped broccoli to the skillet with the ground turkey. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the broccoli starts to soften.
Add the cooked pasta and 1 cup of pasta sauce to the skillet with the turkey and broccoli. Stir well to evenly combine everything.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the baking dish from the oven. Garnish with the chopped basil leaf. Let the ziti rest for a few minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Make sure to cook the pasta al dente as it will continue to cook in the oven with the rest of the ingredients.
- Brown the ground turkey thoroughly for better flavor and texture.
- Feel free to add more vegetables like bell peppers or spinach to increase the nutritional content.
- Use a good quality pasta sauce for the best taste; consider making your own if you have time.
- Let the baked ziti rest for a few minutes before serving; this will help it set and make it easier to portion out.
- Garnish with a fresh basil leaf right before serving to add a burst of fresh flavor.
