UKRAINIAN NOODLE AND SPINACH CASSEROLE
Lokshyna, zapechena z shpynatin (in Ukranian) comes from Bake Until Bubbly by Clifford Wright. No, I do not speak Ukrainian but I thought I could copy it out of his book and pretend for 10 seconds. Don't I wish! You can prepare the casserole ahead of time, with everything in place except the hard-boiled egg garnish, and store in the refrigerator until needed. When baking it after it has been refrigerated, remember to keep it in the oven a little longer than called for in the recipe directions so that it will be hot in the center. He suggests that if there are leftovers, put this recipe with veal tomato casserole leftovers. Interesting fusion of 2 casseroles. Timing does not include hard-boiling the eggs.
