A simple, colorful pasta dish. Serve with a tossed salad and freshly grated parmesan cheese for a great meal.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz. ziti pasta
  • 1 14 1/2 oz. can Italian-style stewed tomatoes
  • 1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • 4 oz. fresh spinach, washed and chopped
  • 2 oz. cream cheese
  • 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

Directions

Bring a large pot filled with salted water to a boil. Add ziti and cook until tender but still firm, about 12 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium sized non-reactive pan, combine tomatoes and hot pepper flakes. Warm over medium-low heat, breaking up tomatoes if necessary. Drain pasta and return to hot pan. Add spinach, cream cheese and nutmeg. Cook, stirring, over low heat until spinach wilts, 1-2 minutes. Pour tomato sauce over spinach ziti. Stir and toss gently to mix.

Yield: 6 servings

  • I made this super easy dinner and it was tasty. Superb recipe thanks! I used a whole 8oz. package of frozen spinach and will use 2 cans of stewed tomatoes and a little more cream cheese next time. I guess it's how much of each to fit your taste preference. Serves 4 comfortably
