KITTENCAL'S SPINACH PARMESAN RICE BAKE

Kittencal's Spinach Parmesan Rice Bake image

This is a wonderful easy side dish to chicken or meat and any leftovers freeze wonderful, it may also be baked in a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate and cut into wedges, this may be doubled but I would still only use one package or spinach or maybe 1-1/2 packages adding in too much spinach will overpower all other ingredients, prep time does not include cooking the rice --- FOR FREEZING prepare recipe as directed but do not bake, wrap pan in plastic wrap then tightly in foil and freeze, to serve thaw over night in refrigerator, remove wrapping bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until hot.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the final dish will be. Look for fresh, flavorful vegetables, high-quality cheeses, and flavorful herbs.
Cook the rice perfectly: The rice is the base of the dish, so it's important to cook it perfectly. Follow the instructions in the recipe carefully and use the correct amount of water and salt.
Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooking them will make them mushy and bland.
Use a good quality Parmesan cheese: The Parmesan cheese is a key flavor component in this dish, so it's important to use a high-quality cheese. Look for a cheese that is aged for at least 12 months and has a strong flavor.
Serve the dish immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is baked. The rice will be creamy and the cheese will be melted and bubbly.
