Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large cast iron or oven safe pot, boil pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse and keep aside in colander.
  • Dice onion and mince garlic.  Chop zucchini. In the same cast iron pot, add olive oil and heat to medium-high heat. Saute diced onion for 5 minutes, until slightly translucent.
  • Add garlic, zucchini, and spinach and stir until spinach has wilted, about 5-7 minutes. Salt and pepper vegetables to your liking.
  • Add crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasonings, and ricotta cheese to the pot and bring to a simmer. Add noodles and half of the cheese (mix the mozzarella and parmesan cheese together) and mix well. Remove from heat.
  • Top with remaining cheese and place in the oven. Bake for about 10 minutes until the cheese on top is melted, and slightly golden brown. Serve hot.
