Spinach Recipes?

Luna69

THanks for all your suggestions.. for some reason some of your thanks buttons wouldn't work, but I have thanked you all.
I think I might have to freeze some of it, I won't use it all today. The kids will eat it, but not in large quantities.
I like the idea of the soup, although my eldest hates the word soup! If it's a pasta sauce it's fine, if it's soup.. won't touch it!

Any ideas for a pasta sauce that is quick and uses minimal ingredients?
I know I could probably throw things together but I'm not too good in that way.
I like to follow instructions.. lol.

Thanks again
Yvonne

Wash it thoroughly, then saute it off with a clove of garlic or two, and stir in a pot of cream cheese/ricotta cheese, and stir through pasta. Super fast and really tasty!

Spinach veggie lasange or make a pasta frittatta with spinach and cheese (We had last night - cook spinach for a few mins in it's own washing-water, chop small, whisk 4 eggs and some cheese, add everything to cooked pasta. Fry in frying pan, then sprinkle in cheese and grill. LAla!)

I had the same problem the other day after intending to use it for a salad. I made mine into a pasta dish with a pot of reduced single cream, toasted pine nuts, salt and pepper and some grated cheddar stirred into the cream. If you're feeling really posh, you could add a splash of dry white wine to the cream before adding the cheese. Went down a treat, and you could always chop up some bits of bacon to add at the end.

Yep, that's how I like it too, butter, lemon, black pepper - another good alternative too if you don't have a lemon handy is to grate in some nutmeg (only a little though!). According to that truth about food prog, spinach is v.good for your eyes too (lutein) so eat lots!

Lots of recipes here if you get bored with the above:

I stuff spinach into lasagne sheets with parmesan, bacon, onions etc. Cover the lot in a cheese sauce and bake. Nice vegetarian lasagne/canneloni.

That or I have it with pasta in a blue cheese sauce with bacon and walnuts.
