Pasta Cups

IMG_6744Tonight I made up a new recipe.  Went to Safeway to pick up some ground turkey and ricotta.  Had some pasta, kale, and leftover shredded cheese and tomato sauce at home.  I cooked up the ground turkey, added the tomato sauce, and then mixed in chopped kale until it wilted.

IMG_6745At the same time, I boiled some wheel pasta and when it was done, I scooped some into the turkey mixture.

IMG_6747While it was still hot, I folded in some bread crumbs and ricotta (about 3 heaping scoops).  It all went into the trusty muffin tin and got a sprinkling of mozzarella cheese.

IMG_6749They turned out quite well and has a flavor and texture similar to lasagna.  You can barely taste and feel the kale so it’s an easy way to packed in the vitamins and iron too!

IMG_6757This is how they looked after they cooled and placed in a ziploc for the freezer.  I set aside one of the cups for Kumquat’s lunch tomorrow.  Hope she likes it!
