Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, then cook the pasta until just al dente according to the package directions. Drain well.

Thaw the spinach if needed and squeeze out any excess moisture. Blend the spinach with the milk, breadcrumbs, and salt until you have a thick, spreadable mixture.

Spread a layer of cream sauce in the bottom of a small baking dish. Add the cooked pasta, spoon the sour cream evenly over the top, then spread the spinach mixture over it.

Finish with the shredded cheese. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the top is hot and bubbly. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
