Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese. You can also add some garlic powder or fresh herbs like dill or parsley for extra flavor.

Make sure to thoroughly squeeze the spinach to remove excess moisture before adding it to the cheese mixture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh spinach. You'll need about 1 pound of fresh spinach to replace the 10 oz package of frozen. Cook it down in a pan until wilted, then drain and chop it before mixing it with the cheese.
What can I substitute for Parmesan cheese?
If you don't have Parmesan cheese, you can substitute it with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor or nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option. Both will give a similar savory taste to the dish.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the spinach and cheese mixture ahead of time and keep it in the fridge. Assemble the dish and bake it just before serving. This makes it a perfect option for meal prep or entertaining.
