Wash produce before use

Cook the rigatoni

Heat the oven to 400°F.
Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook until just tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While the water heats and the rigatoni cooks, prepare the ricotta mixture and the vegetables.

Make the ricotta mixture

Zest and juice the lemon.
Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves. Set aside half for garnish.

In a small bowl, stir together the ricotta, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] lemon juice, and half the parsley; season to taste with salt and pepper.

Cook the vegetables

Thinly slice the mushrooms.

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons [2 to 3 tsp] oil until hot but not smoking. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Working in batches if needed, add the greens, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms and greens are very tender and any liquid they release has evaporated, 4 to 6 minutes.

Assemble and bake the rigatoni

In a medium [large] baking dish, stir together the rigatoni, marinara, and mushroom-greens mixture. Spoon on the ricotta mixture and sprinkle evenly with the Italian cheese blend. Bake until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling, 14 to 16 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with the remaining parsley.

Serve

Transfer the baked rigatoni to individual plates and serve.

Chef's Tip

For a golden brown finish, you can blast the casserole under the broiler for a few minutes after it finishes baking; just make sure your baking dish is broiler-proof.

Make It Ahead
You can assemble the casserole up to 1 day ahead (Steps 1 through 4, stopping at the baking instructions). Let cool, then cover and refrigerate. When ready to serve, heat the oven and then bake the rigatoni, adding a few minutes to the total baking time as needed.
