Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather your meatball ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, ricotta cheese, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, lemon zest, parsley, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Boil salted water in a large pot. Add rigatoni and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds, then add spinach and cook until wilted, 2-3 minutes.
- Combine wilted spinach with rigatoni. Plate and top with meatballs. Garnish with additional Parmesan if desired.
