Cheesy Spinach Pasta Bake Recipe

Last weekend we were “snowed in” – well technically I could go out ( which I did to the store once) BUT there was no desire to leave the tv and fireplace

So the thought of cooking did not seem too exciting to me.

I love to cook BUT I had my little nest in front of the tv watching Hell’s Kitchen marathon

So I wanted to come up with a dish – where you throw ingredients together then you have enough for lunch and dinner

I really suggest for this recipe to use frozen spinach. If you have never worked with frozen spinach you must know that it has a TON of excess water in it

Take the brick of spinach and place into a microwave safe bowl – heat for 2 minutes. One fully cooked place spinach into multiple paper towels and wring out all the excess water ( there will be quite a bit)

I also used a four cheese tortellini – I do suggest tortellini for the dish though you could easily use ravioli

My husband is not a huge fan of spinach BUT had no problems eating this bake – I think when you add spinach to a ton of cheese and cream it suddenly does not seem so “icky” ๐Ÿ˜‰

I really hope you enjoy this recipe – let me know if you make it :0

Enjoy !
