Two-Cheese Pasta Casserole

16oz mostaccioli pasta
26-30oz jarred spaghetti sauce
15oz ricotta cheese
10oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed to drain
4 medium green onions, chopped
2 Tbs sliced pimiento-stuffed olives
2 Tbs grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
1/8 tsp pepper

1) Heat oven to 350F. Cook and drain pasta as directed on package.
2) Mix pasta and remaining ingredients. Spoon into ungreased rectangular baking dish, 13x9x2 inches.
3) Cover and bake about 40 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Review: I left out the onions and used fresh spinach. It was an interesting dish. I really liked the addition of the olives, but this was basically a dressed up baked ziti. I found it to be kind of bland. It didn't "wow" me enough to make it again. I bet kids would love it, though.
