A hearty and flavorful baked pasta dish featuring beans, spinach, and a cheesy topping.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a perfect golden crust.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Reserve a bit of pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency later.
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onion and celery until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Garlic burns quickly, so keep an eye on it.
Stir in the tomatoes, beans, and vegetable broth. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Mix the cooked pasta with the sauce and fresh spinach. Transfer to a baking dish.
Ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce for consistent flavor.
Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top and bake for 15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
For a crispier top, broil for an additional 2 minutes.
Let the dish cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Cooling allows the flavors to settle and makes serving easier.
