Tomato and Spinach Baked Pasta

28 oz diced tomatoes with juice
10 oz baby spinach
1 TBS minced garlic
1 TBS olive oil
1 TBS Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 cup reduced fat shredded mozzarella
- Prepare noodles as directed on the package
- While noodles are cooking heat olive oil in a jumbo skillet over medium-high heat
- Add garlic and cook for about 1 minute
- Add tomatoes and seasonings and bring to a boil
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes
- Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-5 minutes
- Combine sauce and pasta then add 1/2 cup mozzarella
- Stir to combine and place mixture into a prepared baking dish
- Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15 minutes
- Remove and sprinkle with remaining cheese
- Place back in the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes
I just love the smell of this while it's cooking. It is so comforting and homey. This makes quite a bit so feel free to half the recipe or add some zucchini or chicken to the mix. YUM!
