Meanwhile, in medium microwavable bowl, place fresh spinach leaves and water. Cover with microwavable plastic wrap. Microwave on High 4 to 6 minutes or until tender. Cool slightly; drain. Cut up leaves.
3

Set oven control to broil. Line 2 cookie sheets with foil. In medium bowl, place onion and 1 tablespoon olive oil; toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss. Place onion in single layer on 1 cookie sheet. Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and begins to brown. Set aside.

Place ciabatta halves on second cookie sheet, cut sides up. Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat about 1 minute or until very lightly browned. Spread tomato sauce evenly on ciabatta halves. Layer with mozzarella, rapini and onion. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Broil 2 to 3 minutes or until cheeses are melted.
