Spinach And Shells Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Heat butter and oil in large skillet.
• Add onions and sauté until soft about 5 minutes.
• Add spinach to onions and continue cooking for about three minutes until the water has evaporated from spinach.
• Season spinach with a dash of nutmeg.
• In large bowl combine spinach, eggs and all the cheeses.
• Season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Pile mixture into unbaked pie crust.
• Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for one hour or until golden brown on top.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9 inch pie pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft. Squeeze extra water out of the spinach and add the spinach to the skillet. Continue cooking until the spinach is heated through and the extra water evaporates. Spoon mixture into pie pan.
• In a large bowl, beat together eggs and cream. Stir in salt, pepper and nutmeg. Pour into pie pan, top with shredded Swiss cheese. dot with remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes until set and golden brown. Cool 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium saute pan on medium heat, saute the onions with the olive oil until translucent and slightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the salt and pepper and allow to cool slightly. Squeeze out and discard as much of the liquid from the spinach as possible. Put the spinach into a bowl and then gently mix in the onions, eggs, nutmeg, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, feta, and pignoli. Butter an ovenproof, nonstick, 8-inch saute pan and line it with 6 stacked sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with melted butter and letting the edges hang over the pan. Pour the spinach mixture into the middle of the phyllo and neatly fold the edges up and over the top to seal in the filling. Brush the top well with melted butter. Bake for 1 hour, until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Make the pastry: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the butter and cream cheese. Process until combined. Add cream, and pulse to combine. Add the flour and salt, and pulse just until a ball forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead a few times. Divide dough in half, pat each half into a disc, and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the filling: Place the spinach in a very large pot over medium-high heat. Cover, and cook, stirring once or twice, until spinach wilts, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from pot, and set aside to cool. Squeeze dry, wringing out the cooked spinach in cheesecloth (there should be 2 cups), and coarsely chop.
• Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add oil and onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent but not brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat to cool briefly.
• In a large bowl, lightly beat 2 eggs. Add ricotta, Parmesan, salt, and pepper; mix to combine. Stir in the spinach and onions. Add ham; stir to combine.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to a 13-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch glass pie plate, allowing the excess dough to hang over the edge of the plate. Trim edges to 1/2 inch. Spread spinach mixture evenly into pie plate. On a lightly floured surface, roll out second disc of dough to a 13-inch circle. Transfer to top of the pie. Trim top crust to overlap the bottom by 1/4 inch. Fold top crust over bottom, and crimp edges together with your fingers. Cut a few small vents. Beat the remaining egg with a few drops of water, and brush over surface of pie. Bake until crust is golden brown, about 1 hour. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour and oats; cut in the butter until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Roll out dough to fit a 9-in. pie plate. Transfer to plate; trim and flute edges., Preheat oven to 400°. In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion, green pepper and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the ketchup and seasonings. Fold in the spinach; cool slightly. Stir in the eggs and 1 cup cheese until combined; spoon into crust., Bake until the center is set, 25-30 minutes. Sprinkle tomato and remaining cheese around edge of pie. Bake until cheese is melted, 5-10 minutes longer. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before cutting.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix spinach, cheeses, eggs and nutmeg. Pour into pastry shell.
• Bake 45 to 50 min. or until center is set. Let stand 5 min.
• Cut into 8 wedges. Serve topped with the pasta sauce.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Cook potatoes in boiling water in large saucepan 20 min. or until tender.
• Meanwhile, drain 1 can tomatoes; discard drained liquid. Brown meat with onions and celery in large skillet on medium-high heat; drain. Return meat mixture to skillet; stir in tomato paste. Add both cans tomatoes; mix well. Cook on medium-low heat 15 min. or until sauce is thickened, stirring occasionally. Spoon into 8-inch square dish sprayed with cooking spray.
• Drain potatoes; return to pan. Add cream cheese spread; mash until cream cheese is melted and potatoes are desired consistency. Stir in spinach. Spoon over meat mixture in dish.
• Bake 15 to 20 min. or until heated through.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Set the spinach in a colander to drain while you prepare the remaining ingredients, then place it in the center of a large, sturdy dish towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as you can. (If you wash the towel shortly after, the color won't stain)
• Heat a large pan over medium heat. Melt the butter, and pour off and reserve about 5 tablespoons. Add the onion to the skillet and cook until soft but not brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl with the squeezed spinach, and add the ricotta, eggs, feta, dill (if using), lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
• Brush a 9-by-13-inch (23-by-33-centimeter) baking pan with some of the reserved melted butter. Lay one sheet of phyllo in the pan so it covers the bottom halfway, leaving an overhang on 3 sides. Lay the second sheet across the other half of the pan, overlapping the first and leaving an overhang on 3 sides; gently press the phyllo into the corners of the pan and brush with butter. Continue with another two sheets of phyllo right on top, layering them slightly overlapping to cover the bottom and up the sides (so far, you've used four sheets.) Add the spinach mixture and spread into an even layer; season again if necessary. Fold the sides of the phyllo over the top, brushing with butter, then fold the remaining two sheets of phyllo in half and layer on top, brushing each with the remaining butter.
• Bake until the phyllo is cooked through, shiny, and golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove and let cool until just warm to the touch before cutting. Cut into 9 or 12 pieces and serve warm or at room temperature. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container or up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Press bottom pie crust into glass pie dish.

• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes and cut into wedges.

Steps:

• Mix the first six ingredients (eggs, bacon, milk, garlic, lemon pepper and salt) in a bowl. Set aside.
• Lay the flour tortilla in a glass pie dish, press gently - does not need to lay perfectly flat against dish. I don't spray it prior and have never had any issues with it sticking. Especially when made using a glass pie pan.
• Sprinkle only 1/2 cup cheese on tortilla.
• Sprinkle remaining cheese and the spinach onto tortilla in layers, and press gently. I don't chop or tear the spinach but you might opt to do this.
• Pour egg mixture evenly over spinach, be careful not to pour any outside of tortilla as this causes it to stick to pan.
• Bake in oven at 365 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes. Insert fork in center and it should come out clean.
• Use sharp knife to cut into pie slices and serve hot.
• Other options: Instead of garlic, you can use 1/4 cup onions. For added flavor, serve with homemade salsa.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, ricotta cheese, sour cream, 1/2 cup Parmesan, basil, nutmeg and salt and pepper. Stir in the spinach and mix until well combined. Pour into chilled crust. Top with remaining Parmesan and bake for 45 minutes or until firm. Cool to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes; season with salt. (You should have about 4 heaping cups of sauce.)
• Make the stuffed shells: Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta shells and cook as the label directs for baking, about 9 minutes. Rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Spread out on a baking sheet.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the spinach and cook, tossing occasionally, until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a large plate lined with a kitchen towel. Squeeze to remove any excess liquid, then finely chop.
• Put the spinach in a large bowl and add the ricotta, mozzarella, parsley, Parmesan, lemon zest, beaten egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Stir until combined.
• To assemble, spread about half of the sauce in the bottom of a 10-by-14-inch baking dish. Evenly fill the shells with the spinach-ricotta mixture using a spoon, or pipe it in using a pastry bag. Arrange the shells side by side, open-side up, in the baking dish on top of the sauce, then top with the remaining sauce.
• Cover the dish with foil and bake until heated through and the sauce is simmering around the edges, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until any shells or cheese poking through the sauce are lightly browned in spots, about 10 more minutes. Let sit 10 minutes. Top with more Parmesan and red pepper flakes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat together 1 egg with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk in 1 tablespoon canola oil. Add half the spaghetti (reserve the other half for Round 2 Recipe Spinach and Mushroom Pasta). Toss it well to coat and press it into a 9-inch deep dish pie pan to form a crust.
• In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining oil. When it is hot, add the onion and cook until it is softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and set aside (reserve half the cooked onions for the Round 2 Recipe Spinach and Mushroom Pasta).
• In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 eggs, milk, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the cheese, spinach (reserve 3/4 cup spinach for Round 2 Recipe Spinach and Mushroom Pasta), and remaining half of the cooked onions. Pour the mixture on top of the spaghetti pie crust, top with tomato slices, and sprinkle with Parmesan. Place onto a baking sheet and bake until the pie is set and golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

• Blend together flour, butter, and salt in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal, with remainder in small (pea-size) lumps. Drizzle 6 tablespoons ice water over mixture and gently stir with a fork until incorporated.
• Test mixture by gently squeezing a small handful: It should hold together. If not, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring after each addition until incorporated. (Do not overwork.)
• Turn dough out onto a work surface and divide into 2 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once in a forward motion to distribute fat. Form each portion of dough into a disk. Wrap separately in plastic wrap and chill until firm (1 hour) or up to 1 day.
• Prepare filling while dough chills:
• Squeeze spinach, 1 handful at a time, to extract as much moisture as possible.
• Cook half of ham, overlapping slices, in 1/4 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, turning, until golden. Transfer to a plate and cook remaining ham in 1/4 tablespoon more butter in same manner.

• Assemble and bake pie:
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Roll out 1 piece chilled dough into a 13-inch round on a lightly floured surface and fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Spread half of onions evenly in pie shell and season with pepper. Scatter half of spinach and then half of carrots on top and season with pepper. Top with half of ham and half of cheese, pressing down to compress layers. Repeat layering with remaining filling ingredients, seasoning with pepper.
• Roll out remaining dough into an 11-inch round on floured surface and place on top of pie. Trim edges of top and bottom crusts, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, then seal edges and crimp.
