Ingredients

1 tsp

JS Pasta Allrounder
250 g

fusilli pasta
1

small onion
200 g

baby spinach
2 tbsp

olive oil
250 g

ricotta cheese
2

eggs
150 g

cheese, grated (e.g. Cheddar or mozzarella)
2 tbsp

butter
2 tbsp

breadcrumbs
Optional

splash of milk for thinning ricotta (if desired)

Method

Preheat your oven to fan 180°C.

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Cook the fusilli according to the packet instructions until al dente, then drain well.

Peel and finely dice the onion. Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly and spin them dry.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion for around 3 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent. Add the spinach leaves, allowing them to wilt, then set the pan aside.

In a large ovenproof dish, mix together the cooked fusilli and the spinach mixture.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the ricotta, eggs and Pasta Allrounder seasoning. If the ricotta seems too thick, add a splash of milk to create a smoother mixture. Pour this over the pasta and spinach in the oven dish, ensuring everything is well coated.

Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the top of the pasta. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toast gently, stirring until they are golden brown.

Remove the dish from the oven, drizzle the breadcrumb butter mixture over the top, and return it to the oven for another 5–10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.

Remove from the oven and allow the pasta bake to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this comforting and creamy spinach and ricotta pasta bake with a lovely crispy topping!
