1 tablespoon olive oil
5 oz spinach
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt, plus ¼ teaspoon, divided
2 tablespoons water
vegetable, roasted, for serving
pesto, for serving
fresh basil, for serving

Steps:

  • Add the spinach to a food processor and process until finely chopped.
  • While processing the spinach, spoon the flour in a little bit at a time until a crumbly dough forms.
  • While continuing to process, add ¼ teaspoon of salt. Then, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until dough comes together (the amount of water necessary will vary depending on how wet the spinach is).
  • Remove the dough from the food processor and knead on a floured surface to form into a ball.
  • With a rolling pin, roll dough out into an oval, about 18 inches (46 cm) long by 12 inches (30 cm) wide, and ¼-inch (6 mm) thick.

VELVEETA SPICY BACON AND SPINACH SLIDERS



Velveeta Spicy Bacon and Spinach Sliders image

Make and share this Velveeta Spicy Bacon and Spinach Sliders recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Kraft Velveeta

Categories     Cheese

Time 20m

Yield 12 Burgers

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1 cup tightly packed fresh spinach (chopped)
1/4 cup OSCAR MAYER Real Bacon Recipe Pieces
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (10 ounce) can Ro*Tel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, undrained, divided
1 lb VELVEETA®, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
12 slider buns

Steps:

  • HEAT greased grill to medium-high heat.
  • MIX meat, spinach, bacon, garlic powder and 2 tablespoons tomatoes just until blended; shape into 12 (2-inch) meatballs.
  • PRESS 1 VELVEETA® cube into center of each meatball, completely enclosing VELVEETA®. Flatten to 2-1/2-inch diameter. Grill 5 minute on each side or until done (160ºF).
  • MEANWHILE, microwave remaining VELVEETA® and remaining tomatoes in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 3 minute or until VELVEETA® is completely melted and mixture is well blended when stirred.
  • FILL buns with burgers. Serve with VELVEETA® sauce.
  • Ro*Tel is a product of ConAgra Foods, Inc.
  • SERVING SUGGESTION: Spice up your mealtime with these easy-to-make sliders. Serve with your favorite fresh fruit to round out the meal.
  • NOTE: These sliders are equally delicious whether served as appetizers or as an entrée. Be aware of portion size - an appetizer serving is 1 slider, while an entrée serving is 2 sliders.
  • GET ORGANIZED BEFORE GRILLING: When cooking the entire meal on the grill, plan ahead so that fast-cooking foods are added to the grill last. It's okay if the meat is done before the other foods. Just place it on a clean platter, then cover with foil and let it stand up to 10 minute or until the other grilled foods are done. Standing allows the meat juices to be absorbed into the meat, resulting in better flavor.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach is best for this recipe, as it has a brighter flavor and more nutrients than frozen spinach. If you only have frozen spinach on hand, be sure to thaw it and squeeze out all of the excess water before using it.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold its shape well in the sauce.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this recipe, so be sure to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. I recommend using a sharp cheddar cheese or a combination of cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients: This recipe is a great starting point, but you can easily customize it to your own liking. Try adding different vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, or mushrooms. You can also add different spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.

Conclusion:

Velveeta spinach pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. It is made with simple, affordable ingredients that you probably already have on hand. The creamy sauce is made with Velveeta cheese, milk, and butter, and it is flavored with garlic, onion, and spinach. The pasta is cooked al dente and then tossed with the sauce. This dish can be served with a side salad or a crusty bread roll. Enjoy!
