This baked rigatoni is full of flavor and yumminess! And bonus, this recipe has an entire Costco-sized package of spinach baked into it. Great use of those greens. You will love this!

Notes:
*For picky eaters, this would turn out just fine if you skipped the spinach.
*This recipe serves 8. It may be a good idea to make this in two, smaller 8X8 inch pans and freeze one of them.
Thank you for the recipe @lisahb!
