If you follow me on instagram, you saw that I had this for dinner tonight. So easy and beyond delicious. My husband had a heaping bowl and even asked for seconds!

Serve right out of the oven for hot, cheesy and delish
gluten-free dinner.

Healthier Baked Ziti
Ingredients:
1 package Brown Rice Pasta (Penne)
1 jar tomato sauce
1 cup almond flour
1 cup frozen or fresh spinach
Real Sea Salt

Directions:
1. Make pasta according to directions and drain
2. Add cooked pasta to a baking pan or dish
3. Mix in tomato sauce, spinach
4. Top with mozzarella cheese and almond flour (for crunch)
5. Broil about 10 min or until brown and crispy
Voila! Mangia!

Benefits:
– brown rice pasta has more fiber than white pasta + it’s gluten-free so won’t give you digestive upset
– almond flour is ground up almonds- great alternative to parmesan cheese for the look and adds a crunchy-ish texture to the top
– spinach adds a dose of good-for-you vitamins, minerals, oxygen and fiber to your bod.
