Ingredients
12 ounces spaghetti (whole wheat or regular)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 medium bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow), chopped
1 medium zucchini, sliced
2 cups fresh spinach
24 ounces marinara sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté bell peppers and zucchini until softened. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
In a large bowl, combine cooked spaghetti, sautéed vegetables, and marinara sauce. Mix well.
Lightly oil a baking dish. Add half of the spaghetti mixture, sprinkle with some mozzarella cheese, then layer the remaining mixture on top. Finish with the remaining cheese.
Bake uncovered for about 25 minutes, until bubbly and golden on top.
Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
You can add ricotta or Parmesan cheese for extra creaminess and flavor.
Whole wheat spaghetti adds extra fiber and a nuttier taste.
Feel free to add mushrooms, eggplant, or olives for more variety.
Letting the dish rest before serving helps it hold together better.
