- Remove the white sauce from the heat. Add the ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses and stir well to combine. Allow to cool, while cooling cook your pasta as per the packet directions and drain well. Pre-heat your oven to 180oC/375oF.
- Steam your broccoli (I use the microwave) and remove any water. Add the garlic and stir through to let the fragrance release. Add the thawed frozen spinach and stir through.
- In a greased casserole dish pour in the broccoli/spinach mix, pasta, Italian herbs and white cheesy sauce. Stir well to combine.
- Top with extra mozzarella cheese and bread crumbs. Bake in the pre heated oven for 35-40 minutes. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Use fresh spinach and broccoli: Fresh vegetables provide the best flavor and texture to the casserole. If you don't have fresh spinach or broccoli, you can use frozen vegetables, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be tender-crisp, not mushy. Overcooking will make them lose their flavor and nutrients.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is a key ingredient in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar cheese or a combination of cheddar and mozzarella cheese works well.
- Season the casserole well: Don't be afraid to season the casserole with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
- Let the casserole rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the casserole to set.
Conclusion:
This spinach broccoli bake is a delicious and easy-to-make casserole that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's packed with healthy vegetables and cheese, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give this spinach broccoli bake a try!
