Sausage Spinach Pasta Bake image

I've swapped in other meats-such as chicken sausage, veal or ground pork-and added in summer squash, zucchini, green beans and mushrooms, depending on what's in season. Also, fresh herbs really perk up the flavors. -Kim Forni, Laconia, New Hampshire

BAKED ZITI WITH SAUSAGE MEATBALLS AND SPINACH



Baked Ziti With Sausage Meatballs and Spinach image

Baked ziti is meant to feed a crowd, and this one surely does. "Cheater" meatballs made with uncased Italian sausage are strewn throughout the sauce for heft, and baby spinach lends a pop of color. Because ricotta has a tendency to dry out when baked, crème fraîche is added to ensure a more velvety texture, but sour cream thinned out with a little heavy cream works just as well. The whole dish can be assembled and baked ahead the day before. Bring it to room temperature before warming, then broil right before serving for crisp edges.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound sweet Italian sausage (pork, turkey or chicken), casing removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes (optional)
2 (28-ounce) cans whole San Marzano tomatoes with their juices
5 ounces baby spinach
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound ziti, penne or other short, tubular pasta
1 (15-ounce) container ricotta
7 ounces crème fraîche (about 1 scant cup)
1 cup grated pecorino
3/4 pound fresh mozzarella, cut or torn into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Using your hands, shape the sausage into about 35 (1-inch) meatballs.
  • In a deep 12-inch skillet or a Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium. Working in two batches, fry the meatballs until golden all over, about 2 minutes per side, then transfer to a paper towel-lined sheet pan or platter. Cook the onion until softened, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, oregano and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes and their juices to the skillet, gently crushing them. Stir in the meatballs, bring to a simmer and cook, 20 minutes. Gently fold in the spinach, tossing until it wilts. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add pasta and cook until 2 to 3 minutes short of al dente (it will finish cooking in the oven). Drain pasta.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, crème fraîche and half the pecorino. Season with salt and pepper. Stir half the meatball sauce into the ricotta mixture. Add pasta and toss together to coat. Pour into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish that's at least 2 1/2 inches deep. Top with the remaining meatball sauce, the mozzarella and the remaining pecorino. Place uncovered baking dish on a sheet tray and bake until the cheese is melty and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Turn heat to broil and cook until the cheese and pasta brown in spots, 1 to 2 minutes. (Don't walk away; the cheese can burn very quickly!) Remove from oven and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

BAKED EGGS IN CREAMY SPINACH



Baked Eggs in Creamy Spinach image

"Creamy, cheesy, nutrient-dense spinach serves as the base for the eggs in this take on shakshuka," says Michael.

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups sliced spinach leaves
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚ F.
  • Set a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat to shimmering, then add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook until translucent, about 1 minute. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Add the cream and bring to a simmer. Add the nutmeg and Parmesan and season with a pinch of salt and a twist of pepper.
  • Make 4 shallow depressions in the spinach mixture and carefully crack an egg into each one. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 8 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a vibrant green color and crisp texture. Avoid wilted or yellowed spinach.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Feel free to mix and match different types of cheeses to create a unique flavor profile. Some popular options include mozzarella, Parmesan, ricotta, and feta.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Overcooked spinach becomes mushy and loses its nutrients. Cook it just until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a large baking dish: The spinach bake will rise during baking, so use a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent it from overflowing.
  • Let the bake cool slightly before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the bake to set. Serve it warm, garnished with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

Spinach bake with sausage is a delicious, easy-to-make dish that's perfect for busy weeknights. It's packed with healthy ingredients like spinach, sausage, and cheese, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family.
