A delicious and hearty Spinach and Feta Pastitsio Pie that combines layers of pasta, spinach, and cheese for a flavorful meal.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach, washed and chopped
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 package (16 ounces) penne pasta
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture, feta cheese, ricotta cheese, eggs, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  5. In a separate pot, cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and return to the pot.
  6. Stir in the marinara sauce with the cooked pasta until evenly coated.
  7. In the prepared baking dish, layer half of the pasta mixture on the bottom. Spread the spinach and cheese mixture over the pasta, then top with the remaining pasta.
  8. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  10. Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a meatier version, add cooked ground beef or turkey to the spinach mixture.
  • To make it gluten-free, substitute the penne pasta with gluten-free pasta.
