Bahan-bahan

6 porsi

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 medium onion, (chopped)
1 large zucchini, (chopped)
2 medium garlic cloves, (minced)
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¾ pound lean ground beef ((7% fat or less))
4 cups cooked whole wheat penne ((about 2¼ cups dry))
2 cups low fat marinara sauce ((2g fat or less))
1 cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese, (divided)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Langkah-langkah

Preheat the oven to 375℉. Spray a 2-quart casserole dish with nonstick spray.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, zucchini, garlic and red pepper flakes, cook, stirring, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Remove the vegetables to a bowl and set aside.
Add the beef to the pan and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain off any accumulated oil and discard.
Add the cooked vegetables, penne and sauce to the pan and mix to combine. Spoon the pasta mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake until the cheese is melted and the filling is hot and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle fresh basil on top and serve.
