Baked Spinach & Feta Mac N' Cheese

This recipe is a staple in my house. Super delicious and easy. I'll make this on Sundays to portion out for the week's lunches.

Preheat Oven: 450 degrees

  • 3 tbsp Bread Crumbs
  • 1 tsp Olive Oil
  • 1/4 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 bunch Spinach
  • 1 3/4 cup Milk
  • 3 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Feta
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/8 tsp Pepper
  • 8 oz Pasta

Mix bread Crumbs, Oil, and Paprika in a small bowl.

Bring large pot of water to boil.

Wisk 1/4 cup milk and flour in small bowl until smooth. Heat remaining 1 1/2 cups milk in pot until steaming. Add in flour mixture and cook 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat.

Add cheddar to milk, stir until melted. Add cottage cheese, salt, and pepper.

Cook pasta 4 minutes, drain, add cheese and mix well.

In a greased 9 x 13 inch glass dish, spread half the noodle mixture. Add the spinach in a uniform layer, along with 1/2 the feta. Top with remaining noodles, and finish with remaining feta and bread crumb mixture.

Bake, uncovered, 25-30 minutes.
