1️⃣ Preheat & Prepare the Meatballs
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2️⃣ Mix the Meatball Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, ricotta, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, lemon zest, parsley, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.

3️⃣ Shape & Bake
Roll into 1-inch meatballs and arrange them on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through (165°F/75°C internal temp).

4️⃣ Cook the Rigatoni
While the meatballs are baking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rigatoni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

5️⃣ Sauté the Garlic Spinach
Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 3–4 minutes. Season with crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

6️⃣ Combine & Serve
Add the cooked rigatoni to the skillet and toss everything together. Plate the pasta, top with the baked turkey & ricotta meatballs, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!
