Sausage & Peppers Baked Ziti

This healthy baked ziti recipe doesn't require any chopping and is made on the stovetop, so it is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. Using whole-wheat pasta adds fiber; opt for penne if whole-wheat ziti is hard to find.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces whole-wheat penne or ziti
  • 1 16-ounce bag frozen pepper and onion mix (not thawed)
  • 6 ounces turkey sausage (2 large links), crumbled
  • 2 8-ounce cans no-salt-added tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup reduced-fat cottage cheese
  • ¾ cup italian blend shredded cheese
