Spinach Ziti - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    8 ounces ziti pasta
    1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes
    1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    4 ounces fresh spinach, washed and chopped
    2 ounces cream cheese
    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Preparation
    Bring a large pot filled with salted water to a boil. Add ziti and cook until tender but still firm, about 12 minutes.
    Meanwhile, in a medium sized non-reactive pan, combine tomatoes and hot pepper flakes. Warm over medium-low heat, breaking up tomatoes if necessary.
    Drain pasta and return to hot pan. Add spinach, cream cheese and nutmeg. Cook, stirring, over low heat until spinach wilts, 1-2 minutes. Pour tomato sauce over spinach ziti. Stir and toss gently to mix.
