Spinach and squash casserole

This recipe combines tender squash and vibrant spinach in a creamy, comforting casserole, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound yellow squash, thinly sliced
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Add the thinly sliced yellow squash to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender-crisp, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, allowing it to wilt before adding more.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
  7. Pour the milk mixture over the squash and spinach in the skillet. Stir to combine.
  8. Transfer the mixture to a greased 8×8 inch baking dish.
  9. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the casserole.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
  11. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use frozen spinach, thawed and well-drained, if fresh is unavailable.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers.
  • For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
