Romano, Spinach and Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Bake image

I got this recipe on a package of Stella Brand cheese. We love it because it is so fresh, rich and robust tasting. It is great when you want something hearty, but without meat, although we have added cooked chicken to it before. We decided the original recipe was a little dry, so we added the cream cheese. It is easy to throw together too.
