Instructions
- Add penne to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Drain and return penne to the same pot, off heat.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Roughly chop the spinach.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Add peppers and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Broil in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until tender-crisp, 8-10 min.
- Meanwhile, add ricotta, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) Italian Seasoning and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) chili flakes to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Set aside.
- Heat a large oven-proof pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to the pan, then sausage. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up sausage and stirring often until cooked through, 4-6 min.** Add garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.
- Add crushed tomatoes and 1 tsp (2 tsp) Italian Seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly reduced, 2-3 min.
- Add spinach and peppers, then stir until spinach is wilted, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper.
- Dollop chili-spiced ricotta over the pasta, than sprinkle over the mozzarella. (NOTE: If you don't have an oven-proof pan, use an 8x8-inch baking dish for 2 ppl, or a 9x13-inch baking dish for 4 ppl.)
- Broil in the middle of the oven, until cheese is melted, 3-5 min.
- Divide baked ziti between plates.
- Sprinkle over more chili flakes, if desired.
If you've opted to add sausage, when the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then sausage. Cook, breaking up sausage and stirring often, until cooked through, 4-6 min.** Add garlic and follow the rest of the recipe as written.
