As the temperature continues to drop, it’s impossible not to daydream about cheesy, baked carbs--a dish that really warms your soul. This killer casserole is guaranteed to satisfy those cold weather cravings. In it, you’ll find Italian-spiced ground pork, spinach, and tender bites of al dente penne, all enrobed in a rich tomato sauce. To top things off, there’s a crispy lid of toasty panko and melty mozzarella. The fact that it all comes together in one dish is even more reason to love it.

Instructions

Prep
1

Adjust rack to upper position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry all produce. Remove and discard any large ribs and stems from kale. Finely chop parsley.

Cook Pasta
2

Once water boils, add penne to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-12 minutes. Drain.

Cook Pork
3

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat (use an ovenproof pan if you have one). Add pork and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and Tuscan Heat Spice.

Make Sauce
4

Stir marinara, milk, and 1 TBSP butter into pan with pork. Bring to a boil, then stir in kale, half the parsley, and chili flakes (to taste). Cook until kale wilts, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Toss Pasta
5

Stir pasta into pan with sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper. (TIP: If your pan isn’t ovenproof, transfer mixture to a baking dish.) Evenly sprinkle with mozzarella and ¼ cup panko. Drizzle with 1 TBSP olive oil.

Bake Pasta and Serve
6

Bake pasta until panko is browned, 12-15 minutes. Top with remaining parsley. Divide between plates and serve.
