3 Main Dish Recipes Using Spinach

By Courtney Clark

Spinach Omelette
Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup spinach
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese
• Salt and Pepper to taste (optional)

Directions

1. Whisk the eggs together in a medium-sized bowl until the yolks are broken up and incorporated with the whites.
2. Add the spinach and cheese and stir well to incorporate.
3. Sprinkle a few pinches of salt and pepper into the mix, if desired. About 1/24 tsp of each will do.
4. Pour the mixture into a skillet over medium heat and allow it to cook for about 15 seconds, until it's firm enough to flip.
5. Fold over the omelette and allow it to finish cooking all the way through, about 30 seconds.

Notes

• You may use whatever type of cheese you'd like, but cheddar and mozzarella work best in flavor and texture.
• Frozen or fresh spinach may be used. If frozen spinach is used, make sure it is thawed and drained before incorporated into the recipe.

Spinach Pasta
Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 Tbsp chopped onion
• 1 tsp chopped garlic
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• Salt (optional)
• 16 oz cooked pasta
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
2. Saute the onion and garlic in the oil until the onion turns clear, about 1 minute.
3. Add the spinach and salt and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Toss the spinach mixture together with the parmesan cheese and cooked pasta until the pasta is coated.

Notes

• Canola or vegetable oil may be substituted for olive oil.
• Dehydrated onion may be used, but take the amount down to 1 tsp.
• Garlic powder may be substituted for fresh garlic, but use 1/4 tsp instead.
• 1 cup thawed and drained frozen spinach may be substituted for 2 cups fresh.
• Mozzarella cheese may be substituted for parmesan.

Spinach Pizza
Ingredients

• Refrigerated pizza crust
• 8 oz tomato sauce
• 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
• 5 oz chopped spinach

Directions

1. Roll out the pizza crust onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
2. Spread the tomato sauce evenly on top of the crust.
3. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomato sauce.
4. Add the spinach in an even layer over the cheese.
5. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, or until cheese melts thoroughly.

Notes

• For a simpler pizza, omit the tomato sauce and just brush a layer of olive oil onto the crust.
• Add any other veggies or toppings you want along with the spinach.
