1 lb lean ground beef, chicken or turkey
2 1/2 to 3 cups no-sugar-added or low-sugar pasta sauce
2 cups water
2 cups uncooked whole-wheat ziti*
1/2 cup shredded Italian-Blend cheese
Lightly spray a heavy skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat and crumble the ground beef into the skillet. Cooking, stirring frequently, until ground beef is no longer pink. Pour meat into a colander and drain well. Rinse with hot water to remove any lingering fat. Wipe the skillet with a clean paper towel to absorb any grease.
Return the meat to the skillet and add the pasta sauce, water, and ziti. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 25 minutes or until the pasta is tender. Sprinkle with the cheese before serving.
*There are other types of pasta or pasta-like products available. Whole-wheat works well for me. Perhaps you prefer a vegetable pasta, etc. Use what works for you but remember diabetics should use whole-grain pastas rather than refined ones.
