My take on baked Ziti... that isn't really baked or ziti :D

First of all, let me declare it here - I will never cook meatballs in a pan again!!!! No seriously... it's all about baking them.

OK So I took some leftover spaghetti sauce I had and added a ton of mushrooms, Italian seasoning, red wine, garlic and a little rooster sauce. Then I boiled up some whole wheat Penne.

For the meatballs, I combined one pound of ground turkey, garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, diced mushrooms, an egg, rooster sauce and cilantro. I rolled them out on a greased cookie sheet and sprinkled bread crumbs on them. I put them in the oven at 400 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. They were seriously the most delicious meatballs I have ever made. Here is the cooked pasta with the baked meatballs (excuse the starch line around the pan :>).Added the sauce on top of the pasta and meatballs.
And sprinkled mozzarella cheese on top!
I wish I could have swam in it. And not too terrible on calories either. I used whole wheat pasta, low fat mozzarella and organic spaghetti sauce. Next time I make it I will have to calculate exact calories. But I could literally eat a ton of this stuff! Seriously, next time you make meatballs bake them! You won't be sorry!
