Baked pasta in a creamy ricotta spinach sauce and topped with broiled parmesan cheese - Can you say YUM? I used gluten free penne but you can use regular pasta of any shape. My favorite thing about baked pasta is the crunchy pasta and browned cheese on top.
This is such a comfort meal and I definitely recommend giving it a go! You could add tomato sauce if you're more of a rose sauce fan, but this one did the trick for me. I strangely enjoyed it cold the next day too!
