Spinach And Stuffing Recipes

Steps:

• Melt 1 stick butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook 1 pound crumbled sausage in the butter. Add 2 cups each diced onion and celery and 1 tablespoon each minced sage and thyme; add salt and pepper and cook 5 minutes. Add 3 cups chicken or turkey broth and 4 cups chopped spinach; bring to a simmer. Beat 2 eggs with 1/4 cup chopped parsley in a large bowl; add 6 cups cubed stale cornbread and 8 cups white bread and 1/3 cup each pine nuts and grated parmesan, then pour in the vegetable-broth mixture and toss. Transfer to a buttered baking dish and dot with butter. Cover and bake at 375 degrees F, 30 minutes; uncover and bake until golden, about 30 more minutes.

Steps:

• Prepare stuffing in large saucepan as directed on package.
• Stir in remaining ingredients.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Add hot water to stuffing mix in large bowl; stir just until moistened.
• Remove stems from mushrooms; chop stems. Melt butter in skillet on medium heat. Add chopped stems and garlic; cook and stir 5 min. or until tender. Add to stuffing with spinach and cheeses; mix well.
• Spoon stuffing mixture into mushroom caps; place, filled sides up, in shallow pan.
• Bake 20 min. or until mushrooms are tender and filling is heated through.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Mix stuffing mix, hot water and butter in large bowl until blended.
• Add remaining ingredients; mix lightly. Shape into 60 (1-inch) balls.
• Place in single layer on 2 rimmed baking sheets sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake 15 to 20 min. or until heated through and lightly browned.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine eggs, stuffing mix, butter, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Add spinach; mix well. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls; place in an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.

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:

• Preheat oven to 325
• Drain all liquid from thawed spinach & place in a large bowl.
• Brown sausage in a large oven safe pan & drain fat.
• Add sausage to spinach.
• Saute onion, sweet peppers & celery in butter until tender (use same large pan).
• Add seasonings.
• Add bread cubes & spinach/sausage
• Drizzle with broth until moist.
• Cover & bake for 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place spinach in a large glass bowl, and heat in the microwave for 3 minutes, stirring every minute or so, or until wilted. Stir in sour cream, pepperjack cheese, and garlic.
• Lay the chicken breasts out on a clean surface, and spoon some of the spinach mixture onto each one. Roll up chicken to enclose the spinach, then wrap each chicken breast with two slices of bacon. Secure with toothpicks, and arrange in a shallow baking dish.
• Bake uncovered for 35 minutes in the preheated oven, then increase heat to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C), or use the oven's broiler to cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes to brown the bacon.
