Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook ziti in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté spinach and mushrooms in hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add to ziti in the bowl.
-
Add ricotta cheese, goat cheese, and 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese to ziti mixture; mix thoroughly. Stir in spaghetti sauce until well combined, then transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
-
Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until bubbly and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
