Cooking Steps

Cook penne
1
  • 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.
Prep and roast peppers
2
  • 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.
Season ricotta
3
  • 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.
Start sauce
4
  • Heat a large oven-proof pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then the garlic. 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. 
Assemble and bake
5
  • 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.
Finish and serve
6

  • Sprinkle over more chili flakes, if desired.
