Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make it Easy

Spray foil with cooking spray before using to cover casserole. Place, sprayed-side down, on casserole to prevent sticking.

Make Ahead

Assemble recipe as directed. Refrigerate up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, bake, covered, at 400°F for 35 min. or until heated through.

Freeze Ahead

Reserve 1/2 cup of the mozzarella. Assemble recipe as directed, but do not top with the reserved mozzarella. Wrap casserole in foil; freeze. When ready to serve, heat oven to 400°F. Unwrap casserole; cover with foil. Bake 55 min. or until heated through, removing foil after 30 min. Top with reserved mozzarella; bake 2 min. or until melted.

I used light spaghetti sauce to make it even more healthier. It was so good, my husband loved it and he hates spinach! We had leftovers and they were even better. I will definitely make this again.

Melts in your mouth! Made a few minor changes to the recipe. The amount of spinach for this recipe was way too much so I used only a handful. Also I used a large cottage cheese (24 oz) and increased the parmesan and mozzerella cheeses. Plenty of leftovers!

Sooo yummy! I added a can of crab to the cheese and spinach mixture, and made another batch using frozen corn instead of spinach. Just make sure u boil the corn before adding it! Everyone in my family preferred the corn version, so try it out!

This was excellent. I put about a tablespoon of browned ground beef in the bottom of each shell before adding the cheese mixture. Delicious!

This recipe turned out fantastic. I'm not a big cottage cheese fan, so I substituted fat free Ricotta and it was delicious.

Very delicious. I also mixed in some fat-free Ricotta cheese just to give it some extra texture and flavor. Also it was very easy to prepare!
