No-Boil Baked Ziti with Spinach, Mushrooms and Ricotta - a simple, healthy one-pot meal with only 15 minutes of hands-on time before baking in the oven. Vegan and GF adaptable!

Baked Ziti with Spinach &amp; Mushrooms 

olive oil

onion, chopped

garlic cloves, rough chopped

salt, pepper

chili flakes

Italian seasoning

baby spinach, chopped spinach

chicken stock

dry ziti

ricotta, or herbed tofu ricotta

pecorino

mozzarella cheese

basil

In a large, 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat, add onion, garlic and mushrooms and season generously with salt and pepper,  cooking and stirring until mushrooms release all their liquids and this cooks off, and eventually they get golden brown, about 12 minutes. Taste and make sure these are salted and flavorful.

Add spinach and wilt, then add 2 cups of broth or stock, a jar of marinara sauce and the dry pasta ( about 2 ¾-3 cups dry). Stir, and bring to a simmer. Dot with the dollops of ricotta. Sprinkle with mozzarella and pecorino.  Cover well and place in the oven to bake for 30 minutes.

Uncover and let the cheese get a little golden for a couple of minutes. If there seems to be too much liquid left in the pan, simply simmer uncovered on the stovetop  for 1-2 minutes until it evaporates.

Garnish with fresh herbs and chili flakes.
