Baked Ziti Fit Cuisine Style

This is a healthy yet easy take on a family favorite. All we changes was whole wheat pasta, low fat cheese and added spinach for extra vegetables of course.

Ingredients:

1 lb of whole wheat Ziti
1 Jar of your favorite Marinara sauce or homemade
1 -2 Cups of low moisture shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup of part skim ricotta cheese
1 (12 oz) bag of frozen chopped spinach drained

Preheat oven to 375. Boil your pasta according to the package, but drain just shy of al dente. Heat your spinach in the microwave and drain out the extra water. Remove pasta from the water, and place it back in to the pot, adding your marinara, cheese, ricotta, and spinach. Stir together, top with a little more cheese and place in a baking dish that has been sprayed, and lined with sauce. Heat for about 20 minutes in the oven, remove and cool for about 5 minutes and serve. This is great for last minute company, or holiday gatherings.
