Ingredients

10 oz dry elbow macaroni

1 cup light ricotta cheese

5 ounces cheddar cheese

5-1/2 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese

1-1/2 ounces shredded parmesan

4 cups chopped fresh spinach

2 zucchinis, grated

1 tbsp garlic

1 egg

1 big old can of Italian spiced diced tomatoes

4 pieces bacon, cooked and crumbled

Directions

Preheat oven to 400F/200C and grease a 9x13 pan. Set aside.

Cook macaroni and drain; set aside. Cook bacon and crumble; set aside.

Put aside a small handful of both the parmesan and mozzarella cheeses aside to top the dish. Then mix all the cheese together with the egg, some pepper, and the garlic in a small bowl. Add the grated zucchin and chopped spinach, then the macaroni and bacon. Mix thoroughly.

Put a layer of the canned tomatoes at the bottom of the pan, then half the macaroni/cheese/bacon mixture. Then another layer of tomatoes and the other half of the cheese mixture. Top with the remaining portion of the can and the kept back cheese.

Place in oven and bake for about 25 minutes. Remove and allow to sit for 5 minutes, then cut into 16 pieces and serve.
