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

UKRAINIAN NOODLE AND SPINACH CASSEROLE



Ukrainian Noodle and Spinach Casserole image

Lokshyna, zapechena z shpynatin (in Ukranian) comes from Bake Until Bubbly by Clifford Wright. No, I do not speak Ukrainian but I thought I could copy it out of his book and pretend for 10 seconds. Don't I wish! You can prepare the casserole ahead of time, with everything in place except the hard-boiled egg garnish, and store in the refrigerator until needed. When baking it after it has been refrigerated, remember to keep it in the oven a little longer than called for in the recipe directions so that it will be hot in the center. He suggests that if there are leftovers, put this recipe with veal tomato casserole leftovers. Interesting fusion of 2 casseroles. Timing does not include hard-boiling the eggs.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1/2 lb flat egg noodles
3/4 cup swiss cheese, shredded and divided
1 teaspoon salt, divided
2 1/2 lbs spinach leaves, without stems, rinsed well
1 medium onion, minced
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup breadcrumbs, fine
4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and quartered

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Lightly butter the bottom and sides of a 9 X 3 inch round baking casserole with 1 tablespoon of butter.
  • Bring a large pot of "abundantly" salted water to a vigorous boil.
  • Add the noodles and cook until al dente.
  • Remove the noodles by pulling them out of the water with tongs or a pasta fork and transfer them to a colander; allow the water to continue boiling.
  • Transfer noodles to a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of melted butter; half of the cheese, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Add the spinach to the boiling pasta water, and cook until the spinach wilts, about 1 minute, then drain the spinach in the colander, squeezing out the excess water with the back of a wooden spoon.
  • Finely chop the spinach and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt the 3 tablespoons of butter over high heat, then add the onion.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes.
  • Stir in the chopped spinach, increase the heat to high, and cook uncovered, stirring almost constantly, until the moisture in the pan has completely evaporated and the spinach as begun to stick slightly to the pan, about 4 minutes.
  • Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and some black pepper.
  • Arrange one-third of the noodle mixture in a layer on the bottom of the casserole.
  • Place half of the spinach on top.
  • Cover the spinach with the next third of the noodle mixture, then cover with the remaining spinach.
  • Add the remaining noodle mixture as the top layer.
  • In a medium-size skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over high heat, then remove from the burner and stir in the bread crumbs and remaining cup of cheese.
  • Quickly sprinkle the bread crumb mixture on top of the noodles.
  • Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
  • Garnish with the hard-boiled eggs.

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.
