I really love cheesy casseroles with pasta and the addition of spinach, no doubt helps with the guilt of indulging in the overload of the cheese! Ok maybe not, but it sounded good. But, I think the only thing I would do differently is to add some chunky tomatoes and maybe a touch of red pepper flakes to give it some zip. Either way, I'm sure it's going to be amazing!

This version of baked ziti has the added benefit of spinach. To lighten this casserole, I would use lite ricotta cheese and part skim mozzarella cheese. Also, I would use fresh chopped garlic, instead of garlic powder for this recipe. The ziti should be drained before it's completely done to ensure that it has a good consistency in the casserole. The pasta will continue to cook in the oven.
