A deliciously easy dinner option that satisfies both the palate and the soul. This Italian comfort food combines creamy ricotta cheese with vibrant spinach.
Ingredients
Scale:
4 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
15 ounces Ricotta cheese
1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup Grated Parmesan cheese
2 large Eggs
2 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 cups Cooked pasta (such as penne or rigatoni)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Stir in the cooked spinach and pasta until well mixed.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow it to set.
