*Two boxes of whole wheat pasta of your choice *Ricotta Cheese
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Boil pasta as directed on box once done set aside. Put mushrooms and onions in a skillet on medium-high heat and cook until soft and all seasonings into skillet ( I do not measure out my seasonings sorry) add to your liking. Next add kale and spinach to skillet reduce heat to medium-low and place a lid on skillet let cook (stirring occasionally) for 3mins. while that is cooking in a large bowl mix butternut squash and ricotta cheese together. Then add half of the bag of 4 cheese italian and half of the parmesan to butternut/ricotta cheese mixture. In a very large casserole dish or baking pan add olive oil. Spread it around pan, then add pasta, mushroom/onion mixture, and lastly the cheese mixture. Mix it all together in large pan spread it evenly out in pan. Then sprinkle the remainder cheeses on top. Cover with foil and bake in oven for about 1 hour or until it is bubbly and a little golden at the top.
