Some Italian/Greek fusion to start the new year.
Ingredients:
Per 2 servings:
- 8 oz pasta of choice (1/2 the box)
- 3 cups spinach, chopped
- 1 cup arugula, chopped
- 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
- ~3-4 scallions, chopped, plus extra for garnish
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ~ 5 oz cream cheese
- ~ 1/2 cup feta, plus extra for garnish
- 1/2 cup parmesan, plus extra for garnish
- 1/2 cup ricotta
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cook pasta just shy of al dente and reserve ~1 cup of pasta water.
-
Combine all of your greens (spinach, arugula, parsley, scallions) and mix.
-
In a pot, add olive oil and garlic and cook for a minute. Add your mixed greens along with your reserved pasta water - start with 1/2 cup of water and add more as needed for your desired consistency. Cook until your mixture has fully wilted.
-
Add all of your cheeses and mix well for a smooth sauce.
- Add pasta and simmer your sauce for a few minutes if you like a thicker texture.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a greased 8x8 baking dish. Add feta, parmesan, and scallions as a topping.
-
Bake for ~12 minutes until the sauce bubbles and cheese has melted. Wait a few minutes to cool and then serve!

Enjoy!
