2. Cooking Directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Generously butter an 8-inch springform pan; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt and pasta. Cook pasta until almost al dente. Drain, rinse under cold running water, and drain again. Transfer to a large bowl, and stir in red pepper and spinach; set aside.
- In another large bowl, stir to combine ricotta, eggs, basil, pecorino, garlic, and nutmeg; season with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl with pasta, and gently stir until well combined. Transfer to prepared pan. Smooth top, and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until firm to the touch and the top is golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before unmolding, and serve warm or at room temperature.
Yield: 6 servings

A good hint for dinner
tipoterio - September 24, 2007 07:01:28 PM PSTI liked the way it\'s done, and it is easy to prepare it, bake it, and a great suggestion for a Monday supper. It\'s also very healthy!

Add the meat!
tubagrl1 - July 26, 2008 03:25:16 PM PSTI have made this recipe as written, but also took the initiative to add Italian Sausage- it was great!! Don\'t let the no meat fool you, you can add the meat of your choice and it still tastes fabulous!!!

Great Idea
Andrea M - August 4, 2009 12:17:43 PM PSTI\\'ve done this one several times minus the eggs and nutmeg. It taste even better when you had tomatoes. Don\\'t stress to get the cheese they list either...use what you have or what you love...Don\\'t be afraid to experiment with a recipe...Have fun and dig in.
