This Savory Spinach Ziti Bake combines tender ziti pasta with a creamy spinach filling and a zesty tomato sauce for a comforting and delicious meal.
Ingredients
12 ounces ziti pasta
1 can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 cups fresh spinach
8 ounces cream cheese
1 pinch nutmeg
Method
Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a vigorous boil. Once boiling, add the ziti pasta and cook for about 12 minutes until it is al dente.
In the meantime, heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat and mix in diced tomatoes along with a dash of red pepper flakes. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it becomes a thick sauce.
Once the ziti is ready, drain it and return it to the skillet. Incorporate fresh spinach, spoonfuls of cream cheese, and a hint of nutmeg. Stir on low heat for 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts down.
Pour the prepared tomato sauce over the pasta and spinach mixture, gently combining all the ingredients to ensure they are well mixed.
