Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: canned lentils

Ground turkey is leaner, while lentils are a budget-friendly protein.

Preheat the oven.

Place all ingredients in a baking dish without boiling the pasta.

Cover the baking dish with a double layer of aluminum foil, ensuring the sides are sealed tightly to prevent steam from escaping.

Put the covered baking dish in the oven for 45 minutes.

After 45 minutes, remove the baking dish from the oven and take off the aluminum foil.

Add in the broccoli and mix well with the pasta.

Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the mixture and grate parmesan cheese on top.

Return the dish to the oven on the double grill and fan mode for about 5 to 6 minutes until the cheese melts and turns golden brown.

Let the pasta rest for 15 minutes before serving to allow moisture to be absorbed back into the pasta.
