SPINACH ALFREDO LASAGNA



Spinach Alfredo Lasagna image

This casserole relies on a jar of store-bought Alfredo sauce to make it different from traditional tomato-based lasagnas. I came up with this recipe after eating a similar dish at a favorite Italian restaurant. While I'm browning the sausage, I soak the noodles in hot water instead of boiling them. It saves time and the dish turns out great. -Beth Stephas, Eagle Grove, Iowa

This creamy Sausage and Spinach Alfredo always gets rave reviews when friends and family make it! It's so easy and so delicious!

Provided by Angie - BigBearsWife.com

Categories     Pasta

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces cajun andouille sausage
3 large hand fulls of fresh spinach
2 cups freshly grated Parmesan
2 teaspoons white pepper (or black pepper)
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 teaspoons paprika
2 cups heavy cream
2 sticks of butter (1 cup)
16 ounces shell pasta
Olive Oil
Grated Parmesan for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in a large pot filled with salted water. Bring pasta to a boil and cook for 12-15 minutes or until pasta is done. Drain and pour back into pot.
  • While the pasta is cooking, add the andouille sausage to a skillet with a little olive oil and cook over medium heat until browned and heated throughout. I cook mine for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Remove andouille sausage from pan and set aside. Once cool enough to handle, cut the andouille sausage into coins.
  • For the Alfredo sauce, add the butter and heavy cream to a sauce pan or skillet. Add in the paprika, pepper and garlic. Whisk together. Heat over medium to high heat until hot.
  • Add grated Parmesan and whisk until melted. Raise the heat until the sauce starts to boil and then turn the heat off. Whisk well. Sauce should thicken as the cheese melts but won't be super thick.
  • Add in the spinach and stir. Spinach will wilt due to the heat of the sauce.
  • Add the sausage to the drained pasta.
  • Once the spinach is wilted, pour the alfredo sauce into the pasta and toss to coat.
  • Serve

SPINACH ALFREDO PASTA BAKE



Spinach Alfredo Pasta Bake image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound short pasta, such as penne or gemelli
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Zest of 1 lemon
7 tablespoons butter
One 10-ounce container mushrooms, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 8-ounce bag fresh spinach
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup dry white wine or low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup heavy cream
Low-sodium vegetable broth, as needed, for thinning
1 cup grated Parmesan
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the pasta in the boiling water, draining it about 2 minutes before the time on the package. It should still be a bit firm. Rinse it in cold water to stop the cooking process and set aside.
  • Mix the ricotta with the parsley and lemon zest in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter.
  • In a large deep skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms have given up their liquid, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the spinach and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach has wilted. Remove the vegetables and set aside, leaving any liquid in the skillet.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Pour in the wine and let it bubble up and reduce for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Add the half-and-half and cream, season with salt and pepper and cook, whisking, until it's all combined. If it gets too thick as it cooks, you can thin it with a little vegetable broth. When the sauce looks good, remove it from the heat and stir in 3/4 cup of the Parmesan.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small pan. Remove from the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
  • In the buttered baking dish, stir together the pasta, vegetables and sauce. (Add a splash of broth if needed). Add spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture, pushing them a bit into the pasta. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the pasta. Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and cook until the top is brown and the mixture is bubbling, about 20 minutes more.
