Layered with spinach, jarred Alfredo sauce and two kinds of cheese, this mouthwatering baked pasta dish is a crowd-pleaser, and easy on the budget!

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

8 ounces farfalle pasta (3 cups)
1 small red onion, chopped
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons dried all purpose Greek seasoning
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 (16 ounce) jar alfredo sauce
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 2-quart baking dish and small nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain well; set aside.
2
Meanwhile, in the small skillet, cook onion over medium heat until tender, 5 minutes, adding spinach during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Cool.
3
In large bowl, combine spinach and onions with ricotta, egg, seasoning, and zest.
4
In another bowl, combine Alfredo sauce, water, and lemon juice.
5
Spread 1/2 cup sauce mixture in bottom of baking dish. Top with half of the pasta, half of the spinach mixture and half of the remaining sauce; repeat.

Cover with foil and bake until bubbly, about 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes, sprinkling with feta cheese during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

Made this over the weekend! This was such a lifesaver for me! DH is having a tough time recovering from having his tonsils removed and if I had to eat one more bite of cheeseburger caserole in ANY form I was going to puke! Enter this casserole! This is was so yummy! I added a little bit of ground chicken (about 1/2 lb) to the Alfredo mixture just to give it more of a one dish meal balance (since it was all we were eating) and to add some lean protein! I also used cavenders greek seasoning (I use it one everything!) Thanks for a great versatile recipe I am sure I will use again and again! [Made for 1~2~3 Hit Wonders Tag]

Enjoyed this dish. We liked the subtle flavor of the lemon zest in the background. I found the spinach mixture just a bit dry and wouldn't spread very easily, so added a small amount of half/half to loosen. Made for Every Day Holiday Tag.

This dish has many of my favorite ingredients/flavors in it so I was thinking it would be a winner and I was not disappointed. I, too, like the subtle flavor of the lemon zest and juice. And I love most anything with Greek seasoning in it...I use Cavender's Greek seasoning - the full flavor one, not the salt-free one. Thank you for posting this recipe!
