This classic recipe is lightened with fat-free cottage cheese, but is still rich in flavor with parmesan, lemon juice, nutmeg, and green onions. Serve as a side dish as itself or as a dip for an enticing platter of fresh veggies and whole-grain crackers.
Ingredients
- 16 oz. fat-free cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 5 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- ⅛ tsp. white pepper
- ⅛ tsp. nutmeg
- 20 oz. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 10 oz. frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and drained
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375º F. Lightly spray a 9″x13″ baking dish with vegetable oil spray.
- In a food processor or blender, process the cottage cheese, eggs, 3 tablespoons Parmesan, garlic, lemon juice, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth.
- Squeeze the moisture from the spinach. Put the spinach in a large bowl.
