Ingredients:
400 g (14 oz) dried pasta shapes (I used rigatoni)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large red onion peeled and chopped into wedges
1 red bell pepper de-seeded and chopped into large chunks
1 yellow bell pepper de-seeded and chopped into large chunks
1 courgette (zucchini) chopped
pinch of salt and pepper
2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
1 tbsp tomato puree
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried thyme
2x 400 g (14 oz) tinned chopped tomatoes
120 ml (1/2 cup) double (heavy) cream
100 g (3 packed cups) fresh baby spinach
100 g (1 packed cup) strong cheddar cheese grated
100 g (1 packed cup) mozzarella grated
Small bunch parsley roughly tore
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 190c/375f. Boil a large pan of water and cook the pasta for 1 minute less than recommended on the pack. Drain.
Whilst the pasta is cooking, heat the oil on medium heat, in a large frying pan. Add the red onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion started to soften.
Add the chopped peppers, courgette, salt, pepper, garlic, tomato puree, oregano, and thyme. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the tinned tomatoes and cream, bring to a gentle bubble, then add the pasta and spinach. Stir everything together, then transfer to a large baking dish.
Top with the cheddar and mozzarella, and place in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown.
Take out of the oven and top with parsley before serving.
