Preparation
1
Prep & Start Pasta

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Halve grape tomatoes. • Drop cream cheese packets in a glass of warm water to soften.

2
Cook Pasta

• Once water is boiling, add spaghetti to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. • Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain.

3
Start Sauce

• In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, ricotta, half the Parmesan, and a drizzle of olive oil (large drizzle for 4 servings).

4
Finish Sauce

• Heat a drizzle of oil in pot used for pasta over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Add Tuscan Heat Spice and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 20-30 seconds more. • Gradually stir in cheese mixture and ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water (½ cup for 4 servings) and cook until creamy and thoroughly combined, 1-2 minutes. (TIP: If sauce seems too thick, add more splashes of reserved pasta cooking water 1 TBSP at a time.) Season with salt to taste. Remove from heat.

5
Finish Pasta

• Stir 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and a big pinch of pepper into pot with sauce. Return pot to stovetop over medium heat. Add drained spaghetti and spinach and cook, stirring, until spinach is slightly wilted and pasta is coated, 1-2 minutes.

6
Serve

• Divide pasta between shallow bowls. Top with remaining Parmesan and serve.
