How to Make Ziti Spinach And Mushroom Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
  3. Add 8 ounces of sliced cremini mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until tender.
  4. Stir in 10 ounces of chopped fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the mushroom-spinach mixture, 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1 1/2 cups of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Gently fold in 2 cups of cooked ziti pasta.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
  7. Arrange 1 cup of sliced fresh tomatoes over the top and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
  8. Bake, uncovered, for 40-45 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
