PENNE BAKE WITH SPINACH AND TOMATOES

Preheat oven to 200°C.

In a medium skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter starts bubbling, add the onions. Sauté for 5 minutes, until they start to soften. Add the garlic, crushed red pepper and paprika. Sauté for another minute. Stir in the tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and simmer 5 - 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the penne in boiling salted water for 8- 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain.

Add the pasta and spinach to the skillet with the other ingredients. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Pour mixture into a baking dish, sprinkle with cheese and breadcrumbs. Bake for 20 minutes. If the cheese has not melted and browned, set the oven to grill for about a minute before taking the dish out of the oven.
