This Italian Spinach Pie recipe makes my Meal Plan rotation often because it’s one of my family’s favorites and because it’s so easy to make. I serve it all the time when we have vegetarian company, and it’s a moneywise meal since it doesn’t include meat. I usually serve it with corn muffins and salad, but it’s great with French Baguettes or any kind of yummy bread. My sister shared this recipe with me a few years ago, but I just did a quick search and it looks like it comes from the Kraft website. Let me know if you try it!
ITALIAN SPINACH PIE
1 container (16 oz) Low Fat Cottage Cheese
1 pkg (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well drained
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 eggs, beaten
1 jar (7 oz) roasted red peppers, well drained, chopped
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. dried oregano leaves
Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients until well blended. Pour into greased 9-inch pie plate. Bake 45 minutes or until center is set. (Note–I take it out and let it “set,” or else it’s too wet for us).

Thanks for sharing! We will definitely try this out in the upcoming weeks. I love having more meatless dishes to keep in rotation.
PS. Love your blog! It is so nice to have a place to find deals and find someone living on a more realistic NoVA Budget

Sounds divine!
Hi Gina, I tried this after seeing it on your blog a few months ago…we love it and it is one of my little guy's (18 months) favorites. We usually have it a couple of times a month, and it reheats really well in the microwave.
Thanks Gina! I just made it tonight and both my daughter (16 months) and husband loved it. Yum!
I made it a little different. I used provelone cheese, 2 eggs and used some frozen peppers.
Love it! thanks!
I found your recipe and had to try it. I've never cooked using cottage cheese. My family loved it! Thank you for it! It is definitely making it into my meal rotation. Have you ever made this ahead and froze it? I wondered how it would turn out. Thanks again!

Meghan–I've never tried freezing it, because I didn't think you could freeze the cottage cheese. It's so easy to throw together in a bowl ahead of time, I've never done that time-saving tip. Let me know if it works!
This is the BEST Spinach Pie recipe! My kids LOVE IT!!! I think I will double it the next time I make it!
When I was making this tonight my kids were NOT enthusiastic. In fact, I was a little dubious because I just couldn’t tell what the texture was going to turn out to be. Turns out we all LOVED it. It was so super easy to throw together while helping the girls with their homework, and then when we sat down to eat it, yum! Thanks for the recipe!
