1 lb ziti pasta (slightly undercooked)
1 lb cooked ground turkey or 1 lb ground beef
26 ounces favorite spaghetti sauce, divided
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
8 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.

  • Stir in the diced tomatoes, meat, and half of your sauce. Add the ziti, and stir until all the pasta is coated.
