List of Ingredients




200 g Penne
1/4 c White wine*
15 g Butter
3 Spinach leaves
1/2 Onion 1/4 c Grated parmesan cheese
1/4 ts Ground nutmeg
1/4 c Grated cheddar cheese
125 g Broccoli florets

Recipe



* Alternative to wine: white grape juice works just as well

Chop the onion and shred the spinach leaves.

Cook the pasta in a large quantity of boiling water until just tender. Drain and place in a greased, shallow, ovenproof dish and keep warm.

Melt the butter in a large pan. Add the onion and cook over a low heat for 3-4 minutes.

Add the nutmeg, broccoli and spinach. Pour over the wine or grape juice. Cover and cook over a low heat for 5 minutes

Spoon the vegetable mixture over the pasta. Top with the cheeses and bake at 350 F (180 C) for 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and browned.

Serve immediately.

"The broccoli is great in this recipe, though overall I found the dish a little dry. A white sauce or a little olive oil added to the recipe before baking would make the casserole more palatable." ---Stephanie Levesque, tester
