with Spinach and Mozzarella

7 min
Difficulty: 2/3
Italian

Just like Nonna's pasta al forno, this rigatoni bake is overflowing with cheese. Creamy ricotta and gooey mozzarella give this dish its rich deliciousness, while wholesome baby spinach adds a pop of bright, fresh flavour. Ingredients: Crushed tomatoes (crushed tomatoes, tomato puree, tomato paste, water, diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, salt, sugar, citric acid) • Rigatoni pasta (durum wheat semolina, niacin, ferrous sulphate, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid) (wheat) • Yellow onion • Ricotta cheese (pasteurized whey, pasteurized milk, citric acid, salt) (milk) • Mozzarella cheese (pasteurized milk, modified milk ingredients, water, cream, salt, fructose, calcium chloride, bacterial culture, microbial enzyme, microbial rennet, citric acid, sodium phosphate, sodium citrate, potassium sorbate, cellulose, natamycin) (milk) • Spinach • Vegetable broth concentrate (sugars (vegetable juice concentrates [tomato, mushroom, onion, carrot, celery], sugar, maltodextrin), salt, yeast extract, natural flavor) • Garlic • Parsley • Garlic salt (salt, garlic powder, silicon dioxide) • Chili flakes.

Preparation
1
Prep

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, peel, then cut half the onion into 1/4-inch pieces (whole onion for 4 portions).
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic. 
  • Roughly chop parsley.
  • Roughly chop spinach.
  • To the ricotta container, add half the garlic salt and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) chili flakes. (TIP: Use less chilis for a milder dish and more chilis for a spicy dish.)
  • Season with pepper, then stir to combine.

2
Cook rigatoni

  • Add rigatoni to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-13 min.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water, then drain rigatoni.

3
Cook onions

  • Meanwhile, heat a medium oven-proof pan (large oven-proof pan for 4 portions) over medium.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then onions. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3-4 min.

4
Make sauce

  • To the pan with onions, add garlic and remaining garlic salt, then season with pepper. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec. 
  • Add crushed tomatoes, broth concentrate and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 5-8 min.

5
Assemble and broil rigatoni

  • To the pan with sauce, add rigatoni, spinach, reserved pasta water and half the mozzarella.
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then toss to combine. (NOTE: If you don't have an oven-proof pan, transfer to an 8x8-inch baking dish for 2 servings, or 9x13-inch baking dish for 4 servings.)
  • Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella, then dollop seasoned ricotta over top.
  • Broil in the middle of the oven until cheese is golden-brown, 3-5 min.

6
Finish and serve

  • Let rigatoni al forno cool, 5 min.
  • Divide between plates.
  • Sprinkle parsley over top.
  • Sprinkle with remaining chili flakes, if desired.
