No reviews

A vibrant, nutrient-dense casserole that combines cabbage and spinach with a creamy cottage cheese and pesto mixture, baked to perfection.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (blended)
  • 4 cups cabbage (shredded)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup pesto (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. In a skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of oil over medium heat. Add the shredded cabbage, chopped spinach, and minced garlic. Sauté for 6–8 minutes until the vegetables are very soft.
  2. Transfer the cooked veggies to a clean kitchen towel and wring out all the excess green liquid, forming a dry ‘veggie ball.’
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the blended cottage cheese, eggs, and pesto until smooth. Gently fold in the dry vegetables until evenly combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is set and lightly golden on top.

Notes

  • Double-squeezing the veggies ensures a dry texture.
  • Perfect for busy weeknights.
