Serves 4
Hands-On Time:
10m
Total Time:
40m
Ingredients
- 12 ounces ziti (about 4 cups)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1/2 pound lean ground beef
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 1 26-ounce jar marinara sauce
- 1 bunch spinach, thick stems removed (about 4 cups)
- 1/2 cup ricotta
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan (2 ounces)
- 1 cup grated mozzarella (4 ounces)
Directions
- Heat oven to 400° F. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the beef, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon until it's not longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Toss the pasta with the meat mixture, marinara sauce, spinach, ricotta, and ¼ cup of the Parmesan. Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch
baking dish or 4 large ramekins. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and the remaining ¼ cup of the Parmesan and bake until the cheese
melts, 12 to 15 minutes.
Quick Tip
If you prefer, substitute Italian sausage for the ground beef and chopped broccoli for the spinach.
