Recipe: Baked Pasta Casserole

This idea came to me because I've been trying to use up my spinach crop before it goes bad. This recipe was supposed to be a sorry excuse for a dinner but it turned out to be delicious and I'll be making it again soon.

You will need:
- 4 cups spiral pasta (I would choose whole wheat but I went with the organic white stuff)
- 3 cups chopped fresh spinach
- 1/4 chopped onion
- 1 clove fresh garlic, chopped
- 1 tsp grated lemon zest
- 1 chopped basil leaf
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook paste in a pot of boiling water with salt and oil. In the meantime, chop the onion, spinach, basil and garlic. Grease the bottom of a casserole dish and mix together pasta, spinach, onion, garlic, basil, zest, salt and pepper. Top with mozzarella, then cover with foil and bake for 30 mins until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
