Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

olive oil cooking spray
1 (16 ounce) package ziti pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ (8 ounce) package fresh spinach, chopped
1 (4 ounce) package fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 (15 ounce) container part-skim ricotta cheese
1 (8 ounce) package crumbled goat cheese
½ (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (14 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute spinach and mushrooms in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add to ziti.
  • Add ricotta cheese, goat cheese, and 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese to the ziti mixture; combine thoroughly. Mix in spaghetti sauce and transfer to the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until bubbly and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
