Ingredients

  • 16 oz ground chicken or turkey
  • 8 oz dry chickpea pasta 1 box
  • 16 oz pasta sauce
  • ½ cup spinach chopped
  • ½ cup tomatoes fresh or canned
  • ½ cup red onion
  • ½ cup filtered water
  • ½ cup crumbled feta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning optional
  • 1 tsp minced garlic  optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add olive oil to a large (4 or 6 quart) sauce pot and turn on the stove to medium/high heat.
  2. Add ground meat and the minced garlic to the pot once oil is heated.
  3. While the meat starts to brown, dice the onion, tomatoes, and spinach. Then add to the pot.
  4. Once the meat is cooked (after 6-10 minutes), pour in pasta sauce of your choice. Then fill the almost emptied pasta jar up with ½ cup cold filtered water. Cap the jar and swish it around, getting all of the sauce off the sides of the jar. Pour the liquid into the sauce pot.
  5. Pour a box of noodles into the pot. Using a spatula, stir the dry noodles into the meat sauce mixture. 
  6. Turn the heat down to medium and cover the sauce pot and let cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring 2-3 times throughout. 
  7. Once the noodles are cooked, add in ½ cup of crumbled feta and stir.
  8. Serve with fresh basil, additional cheese, and enjoy!
