Rigatoni Florentine (Aka Spinach and Cheese Dip Pasta) image

I came up with this recipe after looking at some Chicken Florentine recipes and watching Rachael Ray (her most popular recipe for 2009 was a Spinach and Artichoke Pasta). For the frozen spinach, I wrap it in a clean dish towel to squeeze it out.
