KITTENCAL'S SPINACH PARMESAN RICE BAKE
This is a wonderful easy side dish to chicken or meat and any leftovers freeze wonderful, it may also be baked in a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate and cut into wedges, this may be doubled but I would still only use one package or spinach or maybe 1-1/2 packages adding in too much spinach will overpower all other ingredients, prep time does not include cooking the rice --- FOR FREEZING prepare recipe as directed but do not bake, wrap pan in plastic wrap then tightly in foil and freeze, to serve thaw over night in refrigerator, remove wrapping bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until hot.

ULTIMATE CRAB AND SPINACH MANICOTTI WITH PARMESAN CHEESE SAUCE
You can cheat and make this with imitation crabmeat but of course the real stuff is better, if you are using frozen crabmeat make certain to squeeze out any excess moisture before using for this recipe --- if you are a spinach lover then add in the full box of spinach if not just use half a box as the spinach tends be over powering, you can use 1 pound fresh spinach in place of frozen --- you can stuff the shells and refrigerate until ready to bake, and this is also great with a red sauce instead of the Parmesan cheese sauce :)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200d Celsius Lightly grease 4 ramekins (about 9cm diameter) and place on a baking tray.
- Heat a medium sized fry pan over a moderate heat and add the oil to the pan, then add the spinach and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook until the leaves are just softened.
- Drain the spinach in a colander and as soon as spinach is cool enough to handle, squeeze out excess liquid.
- Divide the spinach between the ramekins and break two eggs on top of the spinach.
- Pour one tablespoon of cream over the eggs and sprinkle with one tablespoon of parmesan.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the eggs are set and puffed up.
- Serve immediately with toast.
Tips:
- Prep the spinach beforehand: To save time and effort, wash, dry, and chop the spinach ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of the ingredients you use, the tastier your spinach parmesan dish will be. Opt for fresh, organic spinach, grated parmesan cheese, and real butter for the best results.
- Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Once the spinach is wilted and bright green, it's done. Overcooked spinach will be mushy and lose its flavor.
- Season to taste: Be sure to taste your spinach parmesan dish before serving and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may want to add more salt, pepper, garlic powder, or red pepper flakes to taste.
- Serve immediately: Spinach parmesan is best served immediately after it's made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Spinach parmesan is a quick, easy, and delicious dish that's perfect for busy weeknights. With its vibrant green color, cheesy flavor, and garlicky aroma, it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. Whether you serve it as a main course or a side dish, spinach parmesan is a surefire crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a simple yet satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
