Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil the pasta in salted water and drain it halfway through the cooking time.
2. In a bowl, mix the turkey mince with a pinch of salt and half the parmesan, then shape into very small meatballs.
3. Quickly brown the meatballs in a pan with the oil for 5 minutes, then add the tomato passata and simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Mix the par-cooked pasta with the meatball sauce in a bowl, adding the diced light mozzarella.
5. Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish, sprinkle with the remaining parmesan and breadcrumbs.
6. Bake for 15 minutes until the top is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
7. Let it rest for 2 minutes before serving to let the flavors settle.

Tips

• Make the meatballs small so they distribute evenly and every bite of pasta has a protein hit.
• This is perfect for meal prep; bake it in individual portions and reheat in the microwave.
