Recipe: Spanakopita pasta bake
How to Make:
- Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan-forced. Grease a 12-cup-capacity baking dish. Cook pasta in a saucepan of boiling salted water, following packet directions, until tender. Drain. Return to the saucepan.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add brown onion. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add green onion and garlic. Cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add spinach. Cook for 1 minute or until wilted.
- Combine ricotta and stock in a bowl. Add to pasta with fetta, onion mixture, dill and lemon rind. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Spoon into prepared dish.
- Stack filo sheets together. Starting at one short side, roll up to form a log. Using a sharp knife, cut into 5mm-thick slices. Roughly toss filo to unravel slightly. Arrange over pasta mixture. Spray with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden. Stand for 5 minutes before serving.
