In just 30 minutes this delicious pasta dish can be on the dinner table. The macaroni is made in a tasty sauce and is packed with three different cheeses and spinach all topped with a crispy panko topping.
9 oz. dry elbow macaroni
1 c. freshly grated Cheddar cheese
1 c. crumbled feta cheese
1/2 c. grated Mozzarella cheese
14 oz. canned evaporated milk
2 large eggs
1/4 t. ground nutmeg
10 oz. spinach
salt and pepper, to taste
2 T. panko breadcrumbs, optional
1 T. freshly grated Parmesan cheese, optional
Preheat the oven to 430 degrees F.
Cook macaroni according to the package directions; drain; transfer back to the pot. Drizzle and stir in oil; cover with the lid to keep it from sticking and drying out.
Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse the cheeses, milk, eggs and nutmeg until combined, about 10 seconds; set aside.
Wilt the spinach in a roughly 10 inch cast iron skillet, oven safe skillet or a large saucepan for a few minutes, transfer to the pan with the pasta.
Add the evaporated milk sauce; combine well; pour into the pan. Smooth down; sprinkle evenly with the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden and bubbling.
Serve immediately.
