Ingredients
- 8 oz rotini dry
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 8 oz. baby bella mushroom sliced
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 2-3 garlic finely chopped, cloves
- red pepper flakes to taste
- 1/2 /2 Tablespoon Italian seasoning optional
- 1 cup cherry tomato diced
- 2 cups spinach tightly packed and chopped, leaves
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 8 oz. fresh mozzarella diced
- basil for garnish, as desired
- parmesan for garnish, as desired
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375°F. In a large saucepan, bring salt water to a boil, and cook pasta for half of the suggested cooking time (approximately 3-4 minutes). You want it to still be hard in the middle as it will cook again. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cauliflower and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Add Italian seasoning and garlic, stir to combine. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes. Add chopped spinach, stir to combine, and remove from heat.
- Add tomato sauce and pasta to vegetables and stir to combine. Layer half of the pasta into a casserole baking dish. Top with half of the mozzarella. Add the remaining pasta to the baking dish and cover with remaining mozzarella. Bake pasta for 18-20 minutes, until bubbly and cheese is melted and turning golden brown. Garnish with fresh basil and parmesan as desired.
Notes
- To make vegan, omit the cheese or use vegan mozzarella.
