CLEAN, QUICK, AND GLUTEN FREE BAKED ZITI!

Friday night we really wanted to go for takeout, but luckily, some quick, out-of-the box thinking led us to try something "new!"  So happy we did because this was DELICIOUS! Frank even claimed the leftovers as his for lunch the next day!  

So, how'd we make it?!

Ingredients:

• 1- 12 oz. box gluten free pasta (we love Barilla brand gluten free)
• 1 lb. lean, ground turkey
• 1 tablespoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 can tomato sauce
• Freshly shredded mozzarella 

How To:

1. ​Preheat oven to 350* F.  Cook the ground turkey in a large skillet, while the pasta cooks in a separate pot.
2. Drain any fat from the pan and add in all spices, honey, water, and tomato sauce.  Let simmer (5-10 minutes) then stir in mozzarella until blended.
3. Drain pasta, then add it to the cooked meat sauce.  Mix well.  Transfer to a baking dish and bake at 350* F until hot and bubbly (about 15 minutes).
4. Serve hot.  Enjoy!
