You will need:
1lb. Ground Chicken Breast (or Turkey)
4 Chicken/Turkey Sausage Links (casings peeled off)
3 Cloves of Garlic minced
3 Basil Leaves chopped
1 Box of Ziti (I just use Penne)
1 Jar of your fave Marinara Sauce
1 15oz tub of Ricotta Cheese
1 bag of shredded Mozzarella cheese
Salt/Pepper
Red Pepper flakes (to taste)
Olive Oil
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F
- Heat a pan on high and drizzle in some oil.
- Add the garlic and meat and using the sharp end of a spatula break the meat apart into small chunks. Season with the salt/pepper/red pepper/basil and whatever other seasoning you like. Oregano, Terragon, Thyme, etc.
- MAKE SURE THE MEAT IS COOKED ALL THE WAY THROUGH! This is poultry and it will seriously mess up your life if it's served raw.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta to al dente.
- After draining the pasta add the sauce to the same pot and keep it over medium/low heat.
- Add in the meat, ricotta and pasta to the sauce and mix together well.
- Transfer entire mixture into a large baking dish and cover liberally with the Mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for about 20 minutes until the cheese is nice a brown and bubbly.
- Garnish with some parsley or basil and enjoy!
