HIGH PROTEIN BAKED ZITI 🍝

HIGH PROTEIN BAKED ZITI 🍝

MACROS AND CALORIES

6 servings 420 cals 14g fat 35 carb 40 protein

INGREDIENTS;

1/2 Box of protein pasta (ziti or penne what ever you can find)

1lb of ground beef

1 cup of low fat cottage cheese

1 cup of low fat mozzarella cheese

1/5 cup Parmesan cheese

1 jar of pasta sauce of choice (I used Classico Fire roasted tomato and garlic its lower cal then most pasta sauces I have found)

1 whole chopped zucchini

1/2 chopped yellow onion

Spices- garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper

INSTRUCTIONS;

Cook your pasta according to the instructions on the back of the box, while that cooks also brown your ground beef adding garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper

Once both noodles and beef are cooked, combine all above ingredients and mix together well

Transfer all ingredients into a pyrex dish, top with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

Bake on 375 for 35 mins

wait 15mins for it to cool down and serve. (Optional; serve with parsley, red pepper flakes, and more parmesan cheese) ENJOY!

P.S. I typically make DOUBLE the amount so that I can freeze one pyrex dish full and have it ready for a quick dinner on nights I am super busy or don't feel like cooking. If you are going to freeze a dish, put it in a pyrex DO NOT BAKE IT, cover with foil, and freeze. When you go to eat the frozen dish in the future you can bake it right out of the freezer 375 for 40mins and it taste like you JUST made it!

No, I didn’t know if you combine high protein pasta, ground beef, chopped up zucchini and onion, cottage cheese, and a jar of pasta sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, stir and combine, dump into an oven safe baking dish and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, cook on 375 for 35 minutes, you can have a baked ZD that’s 40 grams of protein per serving. Should have known

I never knew this. Also never will try it either. Thanks

High protein pasta is a scam. Whole wheat pasta has nearly the same amount of protein. If anything I’d recommend chickpea based pasta which has dramatically more protein and fiber

[MrEMC_]

Everyone is talking about the caloric density and no one is talking about she called it a baked ziti when she used penne…which makes it NOT a baked ziti.

Try blending ur cottage cheese with a hand blender and it gives ricotta /cream cheese vibes ❤

[timeless]

Love I have the same baking dish from Portugal

[cameshavasquez]

I never knew this, however now that I do I will definitely be trying this. Thank you for sharing. God bless. ❤

I'll use raos pasta sauce, only the cottage cheese, one low fat cheese and sub the ground beef for Italian ground turkey sausage and regular ground turkey, diced mushrooms, carrots, onions and peppers. Possibly a low carb pasta that's still high in protein

[ghostofaforgottenweedle]

If I show this to the italian president, they'll declare war on you 💀

[naomicollier]

Ykw sometimes I don’t realize how easy this stuff is to make til I see it on a short.

[emilyperry]

Blend the cottage cheese, veggies, and pasta sauce if you don't like those textures.

[TheRealNylaSquishmallowGirl]

That looks really good. If I was you I would use whole meal pasta as its healthier but other than that it looks amazing

[eneamoretti]

I'm Italian. if you're going to make it in front of other Italians, you can say goodbye to you and the rest of your family
