EASY-CHEESY SPINACH CASSEROLE



Easy-Cheesy Spinach Casserole image

It doesn't get much easier than this... no sautéing and hardly any chopping - everything is cooked in one dish before putting in the oven (I even bake it in my toaster over). A great way to use up spinach that's been in the fridge for a while. Use whole-wheat pasta for extra nutrients. You could probably sub rice for the pasta. Add a dash of hot sauce to jazz it up a bit. Measurements and cooking times are approximate.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups vegetable broth
2 cups fresh spinach
1 large garlic clove, minced

2 -3 teaspoons tapioca starch (or cornstarch)
2 tablespoons cream cheese
4 eggs
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1 tablespoon breadcrumbs (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Combine broth, spinach (don't bother chopping) and garlic in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook 5 minutes until spinach is wilted. Cream using a stick blender.
  • Bring back a boil, add pasta, and simmer until pasta is al dente.
  • Dilute starch in an equal amount of cold water. Stir into pot along with cream cheese. Simmer until thickened; remove from heat.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk eggs together. Stirring constantly, add several spoonfuls of the mix to the eggs (to warm them up). Stir into remaining pasta & sauce mix. Pour into an oven-safe dish (a 9-inch pie plate is the perfect size).

CHEESY CREAMED SPINACH CASSEROLE



Cheesy Creamed Spinach Casserole image

I found this recipe in our local grocery store's (Hannaford) sale circular. I plan on making this as one of my side dishes on Easter Sunday so posting on Zaar for safe keeping. The only changes I will make with the recipe is in place of the canned spinach, I will be using 2 10 oz. boxes of frozen chopped spinach that I will defrost and squeeze dry. I will probably also double the recipe because we are all spinach lovers here.

CHEESY SPINACH CASSEROLE



Cheesy Spinach Casserole image

A friend of mine made this and gave me the recipe. It is very adaptable to whatever your tastes are and can easily be made to fit your lifestyle and needs! I used rotini in this recipe but the original called for spaghetti (that didn't make sense to me). You could really use any sort of pasta you have on hand! I bought precooked chicken strips to use in the dish and it helped keep the dish speedy and tasty!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 ounces rotini pasta, uncooked
1 egg
1/4 cup milk

8 ounces grilled chicken
8 ounces monterey jack cheese, shredded
4 tablespoons parmesan cheese, divided
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
salt and pepper
paprika

  • 1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rotini in boiling watr for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Tips:

  • Prep the Spinach: Before adding the spinach to the casserole, make sure to wash and drain it thoroughly to remove any excess moisture. Wilting the spinach in a pan with a little butter or olive oil helps remove even more moisture and enhances its flavor.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh ingredients like baby spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, and high-quality mozzarella cheese makes a big difference in the taste and texture of the casserole. Fresh ingredients provide a more vibrant flavor and a creamier consistency.
  • Don't Overcook: Keep an eye on the casserole while it's baking to prevent overcooking. Overcooked spinach can become mushy and lose its vibrant color. The casserole is done when the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is lightly browned.
  • Serve Immediately: Cheesy spinach casserole is best served hot out of the oven. It's a perfect side dish for grilled meats, roasted chicken, or fish. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.

Conclusion:

Cheesy spinach casserole is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It's packed with nutritious ingredients like spinach, cheese, and eggs, making it a healthy and satisfying meal. With its creamy texture, cheesy goodness, and vibrant spinach flavor, this casserole is a crowd-pleaser that's perfect for potlucks, family gatherings, or a cozy night in. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and let's create a cheesy spinach masterpiece!
