This healthy vegetarian casserole is a standout on any table. Crushed red pepper provides a little kick to this creamy main dish. We love the ease of jarred roasted red peppers, but if you have time, feel free to roast them yourself.

1 (16 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with basil, drained
½ cup chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup roughly chopped fresh basil
1 ⅓ cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add pasta and cook according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water; drain and keep warm.
Add roasted red peppers, tomatoes and garlic to a blender or food processor; puree until smooth. Pour the mixture into a large, deep-sided skillet or large pot; cook over medium-low heat until heated through and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Stir in the reserved pasta water, sun-dried tomatoes and spinach; cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach is just wilted, about 3 minutes. Add basil, half-and-half, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper; stir to combine. Add the pasta and toss to coat. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with mozzarella.
Bake until bubbling on the edges, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
