Low Fat Baked Ziti With Spinach

• 12 ounces pasta uncooked, such as ziti
• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes I recommend: Tuttorosso
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 10 ounces frozen spinach thawed
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped
• salt
• 8 ounces fat free ricotta
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups part skim mozzarella shredded, I recommend: Polly-O
• olive oil cooking spray I used my Misto

1. Preheat oven to 375u0b0F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with oil spray.
2. In a large pot of salted water, cook pasta according to instructions until al dente. Drain and return to pot.
3. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, add olive oil and saute garlic. Add chopped spinach, salt pepper and crushed tomatoes. Season with basil, oregano, salt and pepper.
4. Add sauce to the pasta and combine the ziti. Add half of the mozzarella, Parmesan cheese and ricotta. Mix well then transfer to the baking pan.
5. Pour the pasta mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Top with the remaining mozzarella.
6. Bake for 30 minutes, or until mozzarella is melted and the edges are lightly browned. Let it cool 5 minutes, then cut it into 8 equal portions.
7. This can be made up to a day in advance and stored, tightly covered, in the refrigerator. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
