Three kinds of cheese serve distinct functions in this recipe: Sharp cheddar lends classic flavor, feta offers salty-briny notes, and Parmesan brings nutty nuance to the topping (and helps bind and brown the panko). Don’t worry if the spinach doesn’t completely wilt when you stir everything together in the pan; it will continue to cook in the oven.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Uncooked radiatore

6 oz

Plain unsweetened almond milk

1 cup(s)

Cornstarch

2 tsp(s)

Kosher salt

½ tsp(s)

Black pepper

¼ tsp(s)

Crumbled feta cheese

¼ cup(s)

Reduced-fat cheddar cheese

2 oz, sharp variety, shredded

Baby spinach

5 oz

Panko breadcrumbs

2 tbsp(s)

Grated Parmesan cheese

2 tbsp(s)

Cooked crisp center cut bacon

2 slice(s), crumbled

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Coat 4 (8-oz) ramekins with cooking spray.
  2. Bring a Dutch oven of water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the pasta. In the pan, whisk together the almond milk, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to medium-low; stir in the feta and cheddar. Gradually add the spinach, stirring until the spinach just starts to wilt. Add the pasta, tossing well to combine. Divide the pasta mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the panko, Parmesan, and bacon. Sprinkle evenly over ramekins. Place the ramekins on a sheet pan. Bake until the topping is golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
  4. Serving size: about 1 cup
