Ingredients

16 oz fettuccine
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup spinach fresh
2 cloves garlic minced
3 pepperoncini peppers seeded and sliced thin
15 oz Classico® Spicy Tomato & Basil sauce
1/2 cup Pecorino Romano cheese grated, divided
8 oz mozarella sliced
basil and crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a deep skillet heat olive oil over medium high heat. Stir in spinach, garlic, and pepperoncini. Saute a few minutes until spinach is wilted and garlic is fragrant.
Stir in Classico® Spicy Tomato & Basil sauce and simmer until fettuccine is al dente. Drain fettuccine and return to pot.
Pour sauce mixture over cooked fettuccine, stirring to coat well. Stir in 1/4 cup pecorino cheese.
Transfer half of fettuccine mixture to a round baking dish. Top with half of the sliced mozzarella. Repeat the layers with the remaining fettuccine and mozzarella. Top with dried basil and crushed red pepper.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
