This is an “old-school-to-the-new-school remix” riff on an old favorite from the local paper. The original recipe called for 2 packages of frozen spinach and a can of cream of mushroom soup. I used two bags of fresh baby spinach, found a substitution online for cream of mushroom, jazzed it up ever so slightly with a fresh shallot and some madeira, and voila…a lovely, fresh, new dish!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 bags fresh spinach, wilted and squeezed to remove excess moisture
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 oz. sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup milk (I use 1 percent Simply Smart)
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 16 oz. sour cream
- 1 tablespoon madeira
- 6 oz. shredded cheese (I used 1/2 gruyere & 1/2 sharp cheddar)
- 2 tablespoons pecorino romano
- 1 package Light 'n Fluffy egg noodles
- salt and pepper to taste
- paprika
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cook egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Steam spinach for approximately 1 minute just to wilt. Squeeze to remove excess moisture. Combine with cooked egg noodles.
- In a large pot (one you would use to make spaghetti sauce), sautee shallots and mushrooms in butter.
- Add flour, then milk and broth. Stir till creamy.
- Add sour cream, shredded cheese, pecorino and madeira. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add spinach and noodles. Stir to combine.
- Coat a 13×9″ pan with butter. Pour mixture into pan, top with a sprinkle of paprika and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes.
