Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 (16 ounce) package ziti pasta
• 1 (15 ounce) container part-skim ricotta cheese
• 1 (14 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
• olive oil cooking spray
• 1 (4 ounce) package fresh mushrooms, sliced

• 0.5 (8 ounce) package fresh spinach, chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until bubbly and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook ziti in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté spinach and mushrooms in hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add to ziti in the bowl.

Step 5

Add ricotta cheese, goat cheese, and 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese to ziti mixture; mix thoroughly. Stir in spaghetti sauce until well combined, then transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
