step 1
Prepare the ingredients & make the base
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. In the tray, combine the pasta, pesto, mascarpone, tomatoes, spinach, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Add 1/2 cup of water to the tray. Season with salt and pepper; stir to combine.

Prepare the chicken
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; place in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and the Italian seasoning. Toss to coat. Place the seasoned chicken in an even layer over the prepared base.
step 3
Bake the tray & serve your dish
Tightly cover the tray with foil and bake 20 to 22 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the oven. Carefully remove the foil. Let stand at least 3 minutes. Serve the baked tray topped with the ricotta and parmesan. Enjoy!
