Recipes the Kids Love: Three Cheese Baked Ziti with Spinach
It’s time for another kid’s friendly recipe.
This time I bring here a recipe with an ingredient that not everyone likes, spinach. But I’m sure that your kids are going to love this meal and they will forget that it has spinach in it. It takes around 15 minutes to prepare and 30 minutes to bake.
Three Cheese Baked Ziti with Spinach
Ingredients:
- 1 package (16 ounces) uncooked medium tube-shaped pasta (ziti)
- 1 bag (6 ounces) baby spinach, washed (about 4 cups)
- 1 jar (1 pound 9 ounces) Prego® Marinara Italian Sauce
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1 cup)
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions:
* Prepare the pasta according to the package directions. Add the spinach during the last minute of the cooking time. Drain the pasta and spinach well in a colander. Return them to the saucepot.
* Stir the sauce, ricotta, 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder and black pepper into the pasta mixture. Spoon the pasta mixture into a 13 x 9 x 2-inch shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
