Baked Mostaccioli

oshngrl — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 15:45:45 +0000

I found this recipe in the Taste of Home Healthy Cooking magazine.

www.tasteofhome.com

8 oz uncooked mostaccioli (penne)
½ lb lean ground turkey
1 small onion, chopped
1 (14-1/2oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (6oz) can tomato paste
1/3 cup water
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 cups (16oz) fat-free cottage cheese
1 tsp dried marjoram
1-1/2 cups (6oz) shredded part-skim mozzarella
¼ cup grated Parmesan

Cook mostaccioli according to directions on package. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, cook the turkey and onion over med heat until the meat is no longer pink; drain if necessary.
Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, water, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine cottage cheese and marjoram; set aside. Drain mostaccioli.
Spread ½ cup meat sauce into a 11x7x2" baking dish coated with cooking spray. Layer with half of the mostaccioli, meat sauce and mozzarella cheese. Top with cottage cheese mixture. Layer with remaining mostaccioli, meat sauce and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese (dish will be full).
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-40 minutes or until bubbly and heated through.

Ate - Swiss Enchiladas

I made the swiss enchiladas this weekend.

Coming in at 470 cal and 15g fat it's probably not the most nutritional thing to eat, however compared to other enchiladas it's on par, and it was very filling. One serving was enough.

If you're like me, and absolutely need a world with enchiladas, then give this one a try.
