Tonight is all about the cheesy, hearty flavors of baked pasta. We’re coating fresh rigatoni with a simple tomato sauce that gets a boost of silky texture from heavy cream. Mushrooms and spinach add hearty texture and balance out the richness. For another layer of savory flavor, we’re topping the pasta with fresh mozzarella, then baking it to melt the cheese and bring all the flavors together.
