Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta     Pesto Pasta Recipes

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups elbow macaroni
8 ounces baby spinach leaves, or to taste
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 small onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup prepared basil pesto, divided
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
1 ¾ cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
¾ cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
¾ cup shredded Asiago cheese, divided
4 slices multigrain bread with crusts, cubed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a casserole dish.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Add baby spinach to the pot in the last minute of cooking; drain.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir garlic into onion mixture and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk 2 tablespoons pesto, flour, black pepper, and salt into onion mixture until smooth; whisk milk in gradually. Cook and stir milk mixture until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes; stir in 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and 1/2 cup Asiago cheese; remove saucepan from heat and stir until cheeses are melted, about 1 minute.
  • Stir cheese mixture into macaroni mixture; pour into prepared casserole dish. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove casserole from oven; increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a small saucepan; stir in remaining 2 tablespoons pesto, 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup Asiago cheese, and bread cubes. Remove casserole dish from oven, uncover, and top with bread mixture.
  • Bake casserole with topping in the preheated oven, uncovered, until bubbly and golden, about 10 minutes.

SPINACH PESTO



Spinach Pesto image

I don't like nuts in my pesto and I like spinach better than basil so I came up with this fast pesto recipe and I love it. I never measure but I tried to put it into measurments. It's best not to warm the Pesto mixture as it doesn't need it.

  • Thaw the spinach at room temperature or in the microwave. Squeeze out the excess water. Set the spinach aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add the macaroni. Boil for 7-10 minutes, or until tender. Drain the macaroni in a colander.
  • While the pasta is boiling, prepare the sauce. Add the butter and flour to a small sauce pot. Heat and stir the butter and flour over medium heat until it forms a creamy paste and begins to bubble. Continue to stir and cook for about one minute more.
  • Whisk the milk into the butter and flour, then allow it to come up to a simmer, while whisking. When it reaches a simmer, the sauce will thicken. Remove the sauce from the heat.
  • Whisk the Parmesan and pesto into the sauce until smooth. This will further thicken the sauce. Season the sauce with salt and freshly cracked pepper. Make sure the sauce is well seasoned as the flavors will be less concentrated once the pasta and spinach are stirred in.
