Spinach Pasta Casserole

This was FANTASTIC!!! and resulted in left overs for lunches!

Ingredients
10 ounces of Fusilli (like spaghetti wound into a tight corkscrew)
1 Egg
1/8 cup olive oil
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach
1/2 cup Italian Bread Crumbs
2 Jars spaghetti Sauce
Mozzarella Cheese Shred (you will need the whole bag)

Preheat Oven to 350.
Cook Fusilli according to package directions. Drain and place in large bowl.
In a smaller bowl mix together egg and oil. Add to the pasta and toss. Then add spinach and bread crumbs and toss.
On the bottom of an 11x7 baking pan, spread some of the pasta sauce, add half the pasta mixture and top with cheese. Repeat again. Spread sauce, remaining pasta, and then cheese.
Bake for 45 minutes, till bubbly and slightly browned on top.

MY SUGGESTION! The noodles on top get crusty from baking. Add more sauce before the final cheese layer to keep noodles moist!
