While I liked the concept, I didn't like the finished product. There was way too much spinach and not enough sauce. I ended up adding a few splashes of milk after I took it off the stove because it was just too thick. And there wasn't much of a cheesy flavor. I'd try doing a spinach mac & cheese again, but I'd probably use my usual recipe (with a touch more milk or stock) and add the spinach.
I served it with a zucchini salad I swear I saw her make with this meal, but it wasn't on the website in the same version she made. I used a potato peeler to make long strips of zucchini before tossing it with the dressing, which was tangy with a nice bite from the Dijon mustard. Definitely something I'll make again.
yes, the zucchini looks great - but I agree about the mac & cheese. you make such great m&c on its own, just add spinach to it and I'm sure it would be *wonderful*.
ReplyDeletedamn I still need to make homemade mac & cheese.
that zucchini looks and sounds great - I will definitely have to try it that way!
ReplyDeleteMelissa - I love spinach but this didn't work for me. Such a bummer because stovetop mac & cheese is so much easier!
ReplyDeleteCara - The zucchini was really tasty!
