Meatless Entree...


Does the idea of cutting meat out of your menu rotation scare you or entice you?  It is very easy to do, it just takes a little planning and with the help of Forkful of Simplicity and this blog it is all very possible.  There are so many options for a meatless supper...pasta, veggies, fish.  Meatless entrees are endless and can be just as satisfying as a meal with meat.  Start tonight with Spinach and Feta Pie other wise known as...


Spanakopita

Pam Spray
2 Sheets Puff Pastry (thawed at room temperature)
1 Box Frozen Spinach (thawed with all liquids squeezed)
3 Eggs
1 Cup Cottage Cheese
Low fat Feta Cheese (crumbled)
Salt / Pepper
1/4 Teaspoon Dried Dill

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Spray a 9x13 pan with Pam Spray
Gently unfold 1 puff pastry sheet and gently place it in the bottom of baking pan
In a medium size bowl mix the spinach, eggs,cottage cheese, feta, salt, pepper and dill
Spread mixture in pan
Top with second sheet of puff pastry
Tuck the corners of the puff pastry
Place pie in oven and bake 35 minutes or until golden brown
Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5-8 minutes before cutting into squares
Enjoy

***Make sure all liquid is squeezed from the spinach, it should be as dry to the touch as possible, this will ensure your pie will not be watery or soggy.
