Total Time 45 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 35 minutes

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 oz uncooked ziti (wheat or gluten-free)
28 oz crushed tomatoes (I recommend: Tuttorosso)
1 tsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic (minced)
10 oz package frozen spinach (thawed)
1 tsp oregano
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
kosher salt and fresh pepper to taste
8 oz fat-free ricotta
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded part skim mozzarella ((8 oz total) (I recommend: Polly-O))
olive oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with oil spray.
  • In a large pot of salted water, cook pasta according to instructions until al dente (I like to under-cook it 3 or 4 minutes as it will cook more in the oven). Drain and return to pot.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, add olive oil and sauté garlic. Add chopped spinach, salt, pepper and crushed tomatoes. Season with basil, oregano, salt and pepper and cook 5 minutes.
  • Add sauce to the pasta and combine. Add half of the mozzarella, Parmesan cheese and ricotta. Mix well then transfer to the baking pan.
  • Pour the pasta mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Top with the remaining mozzarella and cover with foil.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until mozzarella is melted and the edges are lightly browned. Let it cool 5 minutes before serving.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb.

ziti pasta 

1 tbsp.

extra-virgin olive oil

1

medium onion, chopped

2

cloves garlic, minced 

2 tbsp.

tomato paste

1 tsp.

dried or fresh oregano

1

(28-oz.) can crushed tomatoes

1 1/2 c.

fresh ricotta

1

(10-oz). package frozen spinach, drained and chopped

Zest of 1/2 lemon

1/2 tsp.

crushed red pepper flakes

Kosher salt 

Freshly ground black pepper

2 tbsp.

thinly sliced basil, plus more for garnish

1/2 c.

grated Parmesan

2 c.

shredded mozzarella

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until very al dente; drain. In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until onion is soft, about 5 minutes minutes.  Stir in garlic, tomato paste, and oregano and cook 2 minutes more, until slightly darkened. Add crushed tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Bring sauce to a simmer, reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced and flavors have melded, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in basil. While sauce is reducing, stir to combine combine ricotta, spinach, lemon zest, and crushed red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, combine sauce and pasta. Fold in ricotta mixture, leaving large clumps. Spread about half of the pasta mixture into the bottom of a large casserole dish. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and Parmesan over the pasta. Top with the rest of the pasta mixture and sprinkle with the remaining cheeses. Cover with foil and bake until cheese is bubbling, about 20 to 25 minutes. Garnish with more basil before serving.
