Sun-dried tomatoes bring a tangy sweetness that balances the richness.

A little crushed red pepper adds heat, and wilted spinach provides earthy notes and nutrients.

Its perfect for busy nights when you want something satisfying, comforting and delicious.

Sharp Cheddar cheese adds savory flavor, but another easy-melting cheese like Gruyere or Swiss would work well too.

Meanwhile, the spinach wilts in the pasta water in record time for a fast weeknight dinner.

Parmesan cheese adds the bulk of the savory flavor.

Chopped jalapeno and canned chipotle chiles add heat to this delicious meal.

Paired with beans, it makes a filling vegetarian meal.

The zucchini melts into the sauce, while Dijon mustard and lemon zest brighten the flavor.

It works well as a vegetarian main dish or can be divided into smaller portions as a side dish.

If you have pine nuts on hand, sprinkle them over the top for a little crunch.

Parmesan cheese grated fresh with a microplane grater will give you the best results.

This easy pasta bake is packed with spinach.

Feel free to swap the spinach out for another green like kale if you have it on hand.

If you want to mellow the smoky flavor, regular Gouda works just as well.

Be sure to save some of the pasta-cooking water, as it helps the sauce emulsify.

Enjoy it on its own as a vegetarian dinner or top with grilled chicken for some extra protein.

The rich tomato-chipotle sauce adds heat and creaminess to the dish.

Eggs are the base of the creamy sauce.

They dont get fully cooked, so use pasteurized-in-the-shell eggs if you prefer.
