Directions
- Preheat the oven to Gas 6, 200°C 400°F. Gently cook the spinach in a pan with a lid with no extra water. Stir occasionally. Once the spinach has wilted drain well and squeeze out as much water as possible and roughly chop.
- Mix the spinach with salt, pepper, grated nutmeg and the mascarpone and spread over the base of an ovenproof dish.
- Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling water for 8-10 minutes or until just tender. Drain well and mix with the DOLMIO® Creamy Mushroom Pasta Bake sauce.
- Mix the breadcumbs with the cheddar and Parmesan cheese and sprinkle over the top of the dish to form a crust. Bake in the centre of the oven for 20 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the sauce bubbling. Serve with a tomato and mozzarella salad.
Cooking tip Use ready washed bags of spinach and cook them in the microwave.
