Creamy Spinach Pasta
- 2- 1/2 cups Uncooked Rotini Or Any Other Small Pasta
- 3 Tablespoons Butter
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 package 10-oz Package Frozen Chopped Spinach, Thawed And Partially Squeezed Dry
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 18 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 18 teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 2 Tablespoons Ranch Dressing Mix
- 2 cups Shredded Cheese (Swiss And Cheddar Work Well)
- 1/2 cups Bread Crumbs
- 1 cup Plain Yogurt Or Sour Cream
- 13 cups Parmesan Cheese
- Cook pasta for a slightly shorter time than package directions, so the pasta still as a little bite.
- Set aside.
- Meanwhile, combine the next eight ingredients (butter, milk, spinach, salt, pepper, garlic powder, ranch dressing, shredded cheese) in a large saute or saucepan.
- Heat until the cheese is melted and mixture begins to bubble and thicken.
- Reduce heat to low and add bread crumbs, yogurt, and cooked pasta.
- Cook until the pasta has soaked up some of the liquid.
- Mixture will be a little soupy.
- Turn the broiler in your oven on high.
- If the pan youre using is oven-safe, simply sprinkle Parmesan over the pasta and place the entire pan onto the top rack of the oven.
- Otherwise, transfer the pasta to an oven-safe baking dish, sprinkle with Parmesan, and place in the oven (top rack).
- Broil for 4-5 minutes or until cheese has begun to brown a little and mixture looks a little less soupy.
- As the pasta cools, it will thicken even more.
- Serve immediately.
- Makes about 4-5 servings.
- Note: if you dont want to use ranch dressing mix, use a couple of teaspoons (not tablespoons) of any low-sodium seasoning blend.
