Continuation of my recipes from the Saturday night dinner! Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 box of any kind of shaped pasta
• 1 box of 10 oz frozen cut spinach – defrosted
• 1 medium onion
• 1 cup of ricotta cheese (skim or whole is fine)
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups of grated mozzarella cheese
• little bit of grated nutmeg
• 4 – 5 tablespoons of olive oil
• salt & b pepper as per your taste buds
• Non-stick spray

Preparation

1. Cook the pasta as you wish – well done or aldante – drain water and set a side while you prepare the other ingredients.
2. Dice the onion and saute with olive oil in the deep pot.  Let the onions become soft and translucent.
3. In the mean time squeeze the excess water out of the spinach and add it in with the sauting onions.
4. Continue to saute for a couple minutes.
5. Add salt, black pepper & a bit of grated nutmeg for taste.
6. Add back the pasta back into you pot, along with the cup of ricotta cheese stir everything well.
7. Set your oven to the BROILER.
8. Grease the bottom of an oven baking pan – I sprayed the bottom with PAM – works like magic everytime – does not allow anything to stick and the wash up is easy.
9. Grate your mozzarella cheese and sprinkle over the top.
10. Place the pan into the oven right underneath the broil.  Cook until cheese has completely melted and top has brown.  About 8-12 minutes depending on your oven.
11. Enjoy! 

I’ve made this several times – it is a really nice weekday easy dinner! You may also use any kind of vegetable you might like.
