CHEESY SPINACH BAKED PENNE
Making homemade tomato sauce for this recipe really allows you to control what goes into it. Here, it's mixed up with chunks of mozzarella for extra bursts of cheesy goodness, along with cottage cheese for all the satisfying qualities of ricotta with only a fraction of the fat and calories.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mist a 2 to 2 1/2-quart rectangular or oval baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne and cook according to package directions for al dente.
- While the pasta cooks, heat the oil in a medium pot set over medium heat. Add the fennel seeds and garlic and cook until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, basil sprig, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Simmer, lowering the heat if the sauce bubbles too vigorously, until the sauce has thickened slightly, the flavors have blended together and the raw tomato taste has cooked out, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, discard the basil and season with additional salt and pepper. Pour over the cooked pasta and toss well to coat. Add the cubed mozzarella and transfer half the pasta to the prepared baking dish.
- Put the cottage cheese in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Add the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan and pulse two to three times. Combine half the cottage cheese mixture with the spinach and mix to break up the spinach. Drop in spoonfuls over the pasta in the baking dish. Top the spinach layer with the rest of the pasta and then the remaining cottage cheese mixture.
- Bake until bubbly and golden brown on top, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes, and then scatter the torn basil over the top.

- Place a large heavy-bottom Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium-high heat, and add in the butter; once melted, add in the leeks and stir, cooking the leeks until soften and translucent, about 2 minutes.
- Add in the garlic followed by a pinch or two of salt and black pepper, plus the pinch of white pepper, and stir to incorporate; once the garlic is aromatic, sprinkle in the flour and stir to combine, cooking the mixture for about 30 seconds to cook out the raw flavor of the flour.
- Next, slowly pour in the milk, whisking all the while to avoid lumps from forming; once smooth, allow the mixture to come to a simmer and tighten up a bit for a few moments, stirring/whisking it occasionally.
- Add in the veggie (or chicken) base along with the heavy cream, and whisk that in the blend; gently simmer for several minutes more to tighten up the cream sauce, then turn off the heat.
