Add the drained tomatoes salt and pepper and cook for 10 minutes. Add the tomato mixture to the couscous and mix well. In a separate bowl mix the reserved liquid from the tomatoes with the basil, oregano and spinach.
Spread 1/2 the couscous mixture in a baking dish layer the spinach mixture on top and then put the rest of the couscous mixture evenly over the spinach. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
