Heat a pot of salted water until boiling. Add the rigatoni pasta and cook until al dente, about 9 minutes.

Drain pasta, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process, and set it aside.

In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the minced garlic until it begins to turn golden, about 2 minutes.

Add the fresh baby spinach to the pan and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and dried Italian herbs. Bring the sauce to a simmer.

Add in salt and ground black pepper. Continue to simmer for 10 minutes, covering the saucepan to retain the moisture.

Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, followed by the part-skim ricotta cheese and grated parmesan. Stir gently to combine. Take off heat.

Pour the pasta mixture into a large casserole dish.

Top the pasta with the shredded mozzarella cheese.

Bake the pasta, covered loosely with foil, in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Remove the foil and continue to bake for 5 additional minutes, or until the cheese is golden and the pasta is bubbling.
