Ingredients

¾ pounds Rigatoni
16 oz. Container Ricotta
½ box Frozen Spinach
1 ½ cup Mozzarella (shredded)
½ cup Parmesan (grated)
2 cloves Garlic (minced)
Zest of 1 Lemon
A pinch Red Pepper Flakes
32 oz. Marinara
Kosher Salt (to taste)
1 Egg

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350^oF. Brush a large rimmed baking sheet with some oil on it.
Take a large pot and boil some water in it with added salt. Cook rigatoni in this pot according to the instructions until it becomes soft.
Drain it and lay all of it on the prepared baking sheet.
Now, mix ricotta, spinach, egg, parmesan, garlic, and lemon zest in a large bowl. Add some salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes to it.
Shift this mixture to a piping bag or any resealable plastic bag and snip its one corner.
Add a layer of sauce into the bottom of a large skillet or baking dish. Stuff the rigatoni with ricotta mixture and keep it on top of sauce in concentric circles in a smooth layer.
Add more sauce and top it with some mozzarella and place another layer of filled rigatoni on the top of it.
Garnish with some parmesan and place the skillet in the oven. Bake it until the top feels crispy and the sauce begins to bubble. It would take you 30 minutes to bake it thoroughly and enjoy!
