Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup cottage cheese (can also use ricotta cheese)
1 1/2 cups saltine crackers, coarsely crushed (approximately 25 crackers)
1 teaspoon dried fine herb (Herbs of Provence or Italian Herbs)
2 -4 tablespoons butter, divided
3 medium yellow squash, thinly sliced
1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach

4 slices mozzarella cheese, cut into strips

Steps:

  • Combine first 3 ingredients (cottage cheese, saltines and fine herbs) in mixing bowl and set aside.

  • Place spinach in skillet and saute 3 minutes, adding 1 tablespoon butter if necessary to prevent sticking. Spoon spinach evenly over cheese mixture.

  • Remove from oven, and let stand 10 minutes: cut into squares. Serve immediatly.
