Pasta Florentine
A tasty meatless pasta meal, made with spinach and three types of cheese.
Ingredients
4 cups small pasta
1 package (10 oz) spinach
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup plain yogurt
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup boiling chicken broth
Directions
- Cook pasta and drain.
- Wash spinach and drain well. Cook in a pot with the water clinging to the leaves, just until tender and wilted. Drain and squeeze out any remaining water. Chop.
- Combine in a large bowl with the cottage cheese, feta cheese, yogurt, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese, salt, tabasco sauce, basil and thyme. Stir in the pasta. Place in a 1 1/2 quart casserole.
- Melt butter. Stir in flour. Slowly pour in boiling broth while stirring. Pour sauce over the pasta. Top with remaining Parmesan cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 to 35 minutes. Makes 4 servings.
Notes
Shell pasta works well - but any type of pasta, e.g. macaroni, etc. can be used. You can use low fat cottage cheese and feta cheese.
