Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

* 2 packages of frozen spinach
* 1 bag of egg noodles (a pound or so)
* 2 tablespoons of olive oil
* 1 onion chopped
* 4 garlic cloves chopped (I used a zester)
* 4 tablespoons of butter
* 2 rounded tablespoons of flour
* 1 cup of whole milk
* 1 teaspoon of nutmeg
* 2 egg yolks
* handful of cherry tomatoes (sliced in half)
* 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
* 1 cup parmesan cheese
* 1 cup (or 2) of shredded mozzarella cheese
* salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Microwave the spinach according to box instructions. Meanwhile, boil a large pot of water for the noodles.
  • Sautee the onion and garlic with the olive oil in a pan. Salt and pepper.
  • When spinach is done you have to drain it. I don't have a cheesecloth but if you do, squeeze all the water out. If you are like me - use your hands.
  • Add the spinach to the onions and garlic. Add sliced cherry tomatoes and cook for a few minutes.
  • Pour entire mixture into the drained egg noodles and stir. Add your shredded mozzarella cheese and a handful of Parmesan cheese. Stir once more. Salt and pepper.
  • Use the pan you just took the onions and spinach out of and melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and then the milk. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Cook until it thickens - around 5 minutes.
  • In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and then pour some of the butter mixture into the bowl to temper the eggs. Then add eggs into your pan and cook for a few more minutes.
  • Turn on your boiler.
  • Add the butter mixture to your pasta and stir together. Place in your pan.
  • Top with panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese evenly. Place in broiler for a few minutes. Keep an eye that you don't burn the panko breadcrumbs. This is so important because my oven is evil!!!
  • When you feel good about your browning, take the dish out and serve!

SPINACH NOODLE CASSEROLE (LACTO OVO)



Spinach Noodle Casserole (Lacto Ovo) image

This is a dish that hearkens back to 1980s vegetarianism, when I started making it. From the 1983 Nikki & David Goldbeck's American Wholefoods Cuisine. It is basically Spinach au gratin, with the addition of cottage cheese and noodles. It is unlike most recipes I've found that call themselves Spinach Noodle Casserole because it lacks the white sauce (Béchamel sauce) used in most American casseroles to bind everything together. The recipes that are most similar end up being Ukrainian. It is very simple, with nice contrasts between the flavors and a wonderful buttery crumb topping. Unfortunately, I have been unable to locate gluten-free flat egg noodles. Macaroni or rotelle or shells work, but are not as good as the egg noodles were. Next time I may try the fat Thai rice noodles to see if they are any better.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (8 ounce) box gluten free pasta (or half bag of egg noodles if not worrying about gluten)
salt
1 large red onion, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 lbs fresh spinach, coarsely chopped or 1 (10 ounce) bag frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup cottage cheese
1 tablespoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup gluten free breadcrumbs (the superfine Hol-Grain, Brown Rice Breadcrumbs work well here)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Cook pasta in boiling salted water until barely tender.
  • Heat oil in large skillet and saute onion until limp, 3 to 5 minutes. Add spinach. If using fresh spinach, cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes until cooked down. Season with salt.
  • Drain pasta and mix with salt, pepper, cottage cheese and grated cheese.
  • In a greased, shallow baking dish (I use a glass 13x9 pan), layer half the pasta mixture, half the spinach, the remaining pasta, and top with the remaining spinach.
  • Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle on top. Bake 20 minutes until top is golden.

SPINACH NOODLE CASSEROLE



Spinach Noodle Casserole image

We enjoyed a similar casserole at a friend's house many years ago. She didn't have a recipe but told me the basic ingredients. I eventually came up with my own version and have shared the recipe many times since. It goes great with ham but also is filling by itself. -Doris Tschorn, Levittown, New York
