Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Lightly oil a 9 x 13-inch ceramic baking dish.
- Cook the penne in boiling salted water until al dente, about 9 minutes. (It will cook more in the oven so you don't want it completely cooked.) Drain, then place the cooked penne back in the pan and set aside.
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine the spinach, basil, ricotta, cream cheese, half-and-half, 1 cup of the fontina, 3 tablespoons of the Parmigiano Reggiano, garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Process until puréed.
- Add the spinach mixture to the pasta and stir to combine. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining fontina and Parmigiano Reggiano. Bake until the pasta is bubbling and the top is golden in spots, about 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes, then serve.

BAKED PENNE WITH FONTINA
A friend of mine gave me this recipe (from Tastes of Italia) and I made it for the first time last night for guests. It was a HUGE hit. It's simple and easy to put together. I browned 1# of sweet Italian sausage and added that to the sauce while simmering. I'm a fan of fire roasted tomatoes, so I used those for the small can. The pasta cooking directions were "conflicting" so I modified those. Some of the pine nuts tend to "sneak" into the pasta tubes and you get a delightful little crunch. The only thing I would do different next time is add more red chili pepper flakes for more heat. Made Cheese and Rosemary Breadsticks (#85257) as a side. It was a perfect meal!
