Baked Pasta With Ricotta And Spinach Recipe: have dinner on the table in 20 minutes or less! Delicious pasta is tossed with a homemade tomato-ricotta sauce.

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Ronzoni, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #RonzoniSummer

Baked Pasta With Ricotta And Spinach

This dish is the kind of recipe you make when you want something good and something fast. Does it taste like a vegetarian deconstructed lasagna without all the work and the best part?

It’s all homemade! No prepared jar of tomato sauce needed. Just because you’re in a hurry doesn’t mean you need to skimp on quality.

This Baked Pasta With Ricotta And Spinach is healthier and a great way to add veggies to your husband kid’s diet. I used Ronzoni’s Tri-Color Rotini. It has one serving of vegetables per 4 oz portion so it’s a pretty easy way to sneak in some of the good stuff to your family.  I added some cheese on top and my kids gobbled it up without even noticing the veggie pasta and the spinach. Score for mom!

Face it, some days we just don’t have hours in the kitchen to cook, but still we have to feed our family. So I try to find ways to cook an entire dinner quickly, make it healthier and of course, delicious. This Baked Pasta With Ricotta And Spinach checks off all these items off the list.

My kids started camp today and it looks like it’s going to be a busy week with swimming lessons, field trips, and bake sales. So I am getting organized with my entire meals for the week. This pasta recipe is definitely one that I will make again soon.
