Prep 15 min · Cook 20 min

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Bring the water to a boil in a large pot and add half the salt. Cook the ziti until just under al dente, usually about 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain and set aside.
While pasta cooks, heat half the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Season with the remaining salt and black pepper. Cook until no longer pink. Done when no longer pink, 160°F.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the beef and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the chopped spinach and dried basil. Cook until the spinach is just wilted.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, combine the cooked pasta, the beef and spinach mixture, and the marinara sauce. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top and bake for 15 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the edges are slightly crisp.
