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

Freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp. thinly sliced basil, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until very al dente; drain.
