Ingredients

8 oz uncooked ziti

1 T olive oil

1 c chopped onion

1 c chopped yellow bell pepper (it's still good if you leave this out!)

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 can diced tomoatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano

1 can Italian seasoned diced tomatoes

4 c baby spinach

1 1/4 c shredded, smoked Gouda cheese, divided (can substitute smoked cheddar)

Cooking Spray

Directions

Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Add onion and pepper, saute 5 minutes.

Add garlic to pan, saute 2 minutes or until onion is tender.

Stir in tomatoes; bring to a boil.

Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add spinach to pan; cook 30 seconds or until spinach wilts, stirring frequently.

Remove from heat. Add pasta and 3/4 c cheese to tomato mixture, tossing well to combine.

Spoon pasta mixture into an 11x7" baking dish lightly coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/2 c cheese.

Bake at 375 for 15 minutes or until cheese melts and begins to brown.

**Note: I usually have plain diced tomatoes on hand so I use those and add my own spices instead of buying the ones with the seasonings already added.

I was uncertain about the can of diced tomatoes and the Italian seasoned diced tomatoes so I went with just one can of tomatoes that I seasoned myself.

This dish turned out nice and cheesy with that great smoked gouda taste! While it was very good the first night - when it was reheated as leftovers the next day it was even better!!
