Baked Ziti with Spinach

Now this one was good... and filling!  Best Spinach recipe so far (out of a total of three!).  I've always thought Cooked Spinach had an earthy taste that I've never been fond of, but I am finding out how wrong I have been.

This recipe would work great with a nice salad and some garlic bread if you must...  produces 8 pretty good size servings...

• 1 box rozoni smart pasta (I used penne)
• 1 lb ground beef, 90% or leaner
• 28 oz crushed tomatos
• 1 tsp oregano
• 2 Tbsp basil
• 3 tsp garlic, minced
• 10 oz frozen spinach, thawed
• 16 oz fat-free cottage cheese
• 2 packets splenda
• 1/4 cups grated parmesan
• 1 cup fat free mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 375 - spray 9x13 casserole dish
boil noodles to al dente
Saute garlic and brown meat
Add crushed tomato, spinach, splenda, seasonings, and salt/pepper
In large mixing bowl combine noodles, meat sauce, and cheeses
Bake for 30 minutes

Serves 8 for 8 points each...

Can top with more cheese if you like...
