This tasty tomato, spinach and ricotta pasta bake is just perfect for those lazy nights when you simply can’t be bothered cooking up a storm, but still want something yummy for dinner.
It’s full of flavour, from the milder creaminess of the ricotta cheese, through to the sharper flavours of the prosciutto and parmesan. The spinach and cherry tomatoes give it a delicious freshness, and it doesn’t have that heaviness that so many other, creamier pasta bakes have.
It’s filling and tasty, and perfect for a cold evening at home in front of the telly.
