Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.

Cooking

  4. Once the veggies are tender and cheese is melty, stir in the chopped spinach.
  5. Combine the cooked pasta with the mixture, adding reserved pasta water as needed for creaminess.
  6. Stir in grated Parmesan, then serve immediately, topped with shaved Parmesan.
