Ingredients
- 8 ounces ground turkey or lean ground beef
- 3/4 cup green red, or yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 (23.5-ounce) jar pasta sauce
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups fresh mushrooms sliced
- 3 cups long egg noodles
- 1/2 cup light ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons parmesan or Romano cheese grated
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning plus more, to taste
- 1/2 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese shredded
Directions
- Coat an extra-large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place it over medium heat.
- Add the ground turkey, the bell pepper, the onion, and the garlic and cook, while crumbling the meat, until the turkey is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Drain the excess grease and return the turkey mixture to the skillet.
- Add the pasta sauce and the water to the meat mixture and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
- Add the mushrooms and the noodles to the sauce mixture and stir to separate the noodles. Return to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and gently boil the noodle mixture, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender, about 10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, add the ricotta cheese, the parmesan cheese, and 1/2 teaspoon of the Italian seasoning and stir to combine.
- Drop about 9-10 small mounds of the ricotta cheese mixture on top of the noodle mixture.
- Sprinkle each of the cheese mounds with the mozzarella cheese and the extra Italian seasoning.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook until the cheese mounds are heated and the mozzarella has melted, about 4-5 minutes.
- Serve.
