NOODLE AND SPINACH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 3-quart casserole with cooking spray. Cook and drain noodles as directed on package, using minimum cook time. In nonstick skillet, cook beef, garlic, salt and pepper over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in pasta sauce and Italian seasoning.
• In large bowl, mix spinach, Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, egg and garlic salt. Fold in noodles; spoon mixture into casserole. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Top with beef mixture and remaining 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Bake uncovered 30 minutes or until bubbly and golden.

BAKED SPINACH AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Cook noodles according to package directions.
• While noodles are cooking, make a white sauce - add flour to an 8 oz measuring cup, then add a small amount of milk to the flour. Stir until flour is absorbed and there are no lumps. Fill the rest of the measuring cup with milk so that the total amount is 8 oz.
• Melt butter in small pot, then add milk/flour mixture. Stir continually over med-high heat until the white sauce has thickened. Add salt & pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a frying pan, saute onion in olive oil until translucent. Add garlic and continue cooking for 3 minutes.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine noodles, cooked onions and spinach. Add a little white sauce to the beaten egg and then add egg mixture and remaining white sauce to the spinach and noodles. Add kosher salt and pepper. Mix well.
• Pour into casserole dish sprayed with cooking spray (I used a 2 quart dish, but an 8x8 inch dish should also work).
• Sprinkle top with Parmesan cheese.
• Cook for 35 minutes at 350 degrees.
