How to Make Double Spinach Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Cook 1 pound fettuccine according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  3. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add 8 ounces sliced mushrooms, 2 green onions (sliced), and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Cook and stir until mushrooms are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Add 10 ounces fresh spinach and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and cook until spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. In a large bowl, combine 15 ounces ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup milk, 1 large egg, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon Italian herbs (optional).
  8. Gently stir in the cooked fettuccine and the mushroom-spinach mixture.
  9. Toss to coat evenly.
  10. Lightly coat a shallow 1 1/2-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  11. Spread the noodle mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
  12. Sprinkle 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
  13. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a knife inserted halfway to the center comes out clean.
  14. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
