Pasta Florentine  Recipes

Ingredients :

225 g

700 g

275 ml

2

50 g

30 ml

whole meal shortcut macaroni

fresh spinach

low fat plain yoghurt

eggs

Edam cheese, grated

bran

ground black pepper

pinch grated nutmeg

salt

a little chopped parsley (garnish)

Method :

Cook the macaroni in plenty of boiling, salted water for 12-13 minutes, or according to the directions on the packet, until just tender. Drain and keep warm. Thoroughly wash the spinach and discard the tough centre stalks. Put the spinach in a large pan with just the water that clings to the leaves.

Sprinkle on a large pinch of salt, cover and cook over moderate heat, shaking occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, until the spinach has collapsed and is tender.  Drain thoroughly in a colander or sieve, pressing down firmly to remove all excess moisture. Heat the oven to 200C (400F), Gas 6. Beat together the yoghurt, eggs, cheese and bran and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Grease a 1.5 liters ovenproof dish and spread the macaroni over the base. Spread the spinach over the pasta and pour on the sauce. Stand the dish on a baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the topping is deep brown and bubbling. Garnish with the parsley and serve very hot.

Serving Suggestion - A tomato salad with thinly sliced onion rings makes a good accompaniment, contrasting with the main dish in both color and texture.
