- Cook the pasta: boil water in a deep pot, and once it reaches a rolling boil, add the pasta. Cook over medium heat for 8 minutes or according to the package instructions. Once the pasta is soft in the center but firm on the edges, remove from heat, drain, and immediately pour a little olive oil, mix, and set aside; this will prevent the pasta from sticking and improve its texture. Set aside.
- For the filling: cut the Hydroponic Baby Spinach Eva® into thin strips and set aside.
- Pour two tablespoons of olive oil into a hot skillet, mix, and cook the garlic and onion over medium heat until they turn shiny. Then, add the cream cheese and heavy cream, and mix with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until the cheese melts and all the ingredients are well combined. It will be time to add the Hydroponic Baby Spinach Eva® strips, then season with salt and pepper and cook for 8 more minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Stuff the pasta with the spinach mixture using a spoon. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
- Pour the ready-to-use tomato sauce into a pre-greased baking dish with olive oil and sprinkle the chopped basil, then place the stuffed pasta on top and cover with grated mozzarella cheese. Bake until gratin. Serve the spinach stuffed pasta with cream cheese immediately and decorate with basil leaves.
