Categories     Dinner

Time 40m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound penne
1 (10-oz) package frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
½ cup packed basil leaves, roughly chopped
1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
4 oz cream cheese
2 cups half-and-half
6 oz (2 cups) grated fontina, divided
5 tablespoons finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano, divided
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Lightly oil a 9 x 13-inch ceramic baking dish.
  • Cook the penne in boiling salted water until al dente, about 9 minutes. (It will cook more in the oven so you don't want it completely cooked.) Drain, then place the cooked penne back in the pan and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine the spinach, basil, ricotta, cream cheese, half-and-half, 1 cup of the fontina, 3 tablespoons of the Parmigiano Reggiano, garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Process until puréed.
  • Add the spinach mixture to the pasta and stir to combine. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining fontina and Parmigiano Reggiano. Bake until the pasta is bubbling and the top is golden in spots, about 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes, then serve.
