Ingredients

2 cup

500 mL
2 tsp
olive oil
10 mL

onion, diced
4 cups
lightly packed baby spinach

1/2 cup

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion until tender, about 5 min. Stir in the spinach, remove from heat and keep covered until the spinach is wilted, about 2 min. Uncover and let cool completely. Stir in cooked pasta, reserved pasta water, tomato sauce, and ricotta. Transfer to an 8 x 8-in. (20 x 20 cm) baking dish. Nestle meatballs evenly in the pasta mixture. Top with mozzarella.

Step 2

Bake covered with foil 20 min. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 min., or until cheese is melted and bubbling. To serve, garnish with fresh basil (if using).
