Time 1h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (12 ounce) package medium seashell pasta
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
2 eggs
¼ cup olive oil
½ cup bread crumbs
1 ½ (26 ounce) jars tomato basil pasta sauce
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain. Bring 1/2 cup water to a boil in a saucepan, and cook the spinach 4 to 6 minutes, until tender.
  • Place the cooked pasta in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and oil. Toss the pasta with the cooked spinach, egg mixture, and bread crumbs.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a vibrant green color and crisp leaves. Avoid spinach that is wilted or has yellow or brown spots.
  • Cook the spinach properly. Overcooked spinach will be mushy and lose its nutrients. Quickly sauté the spinach in a little olive oil or butter until it is just wilted.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality cheddar cheese. Look for a cheese that is sharp and flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the casserole. The casserole is done when the cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is golden brown. Overcooked casserole will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the casserole immediately. This casserole is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can cook it and then let it cool completely. Store the casserole in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the casserole in a preheated 350°F oven for 20-30 minutes, or until it is heated through.

Conclusion:

Spinach cheddar casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. With its creamy, cheesy sauce and tender spinach, this casserole is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
