Description

This savory penne spinach cake is an absolute treat! I like to make it when I have guests because it is great to prepare in advance. The combination of penne, creamy spinach and spicy cheese is simply unbeatable. The ricotta ensures a particularly juicy consistency, and the Parmesan gives the whole thing a fine seasoning. The cake tastes particularly delicious when served warm. It is a great main course for a vegetarian menu and fits perfectly with a cozy brunch or a festive occasion. A true classic that is always well received!
