I have been wanting to make a spinach casserole for a while now and I found one that is made with artichokes, cheese and breadcrumbs. I found this recipe in the weirdest place….on a register tape from the supermarket. This dish is also very low in fat.
Spinach and Artichoke Casserole
Serves 6
Ingredients
2 (10 oz) boxes of frozen chopped spinach, squeezed out
1 medium onion, diced
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 (14 oz) cans artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
16 oz. nonfat plain yogurt (not pictured)
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 grated parmesan cheese
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Saute the onions in the oil and cook, stirring until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and saute 1 more minute. Combine the onions and garlic with the spinach. Fold in the yogurt. Lightly grease a 2 quart baking/casserole dish. Add the spinach mixture to the bottom of the dish. Press the artichokes into the top of the casserole. Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
*disregard the egg in the picture….I needed it for another recipe and put it in the picture by mistake.
Indeed that’s a strange place for such a delicious sounding, healthy recipe! I love artichokes and I love the use of yogurt here.
