How to make a mess

[ksmith]

Cook a package of frozen spinach. Set aside. Saute onion; add sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, tarragon, thyme, and basil. Cook until the liquid cooks away, then set aside. Melt some butter; add flour and stir constantly. Add milk and stir until thickened. Take off heat and add salt, pepper, dijon mustard, and grated parmesan cheese (I used the shredded stuff).

Add some of the sauce to cooked pasta and spoon into individual baking dishes (the recipe said 4. I used 6). Add some of the sauce and the spinach to the mushroom-onion mix, and spoon atop the pasta. Add rest of sauce, and top with more parmesan. Bake at 400F until bubbly, or freeze prior to baking.

many, many spoons and pots used. I saved one pot by using frozen spinach--the recipe calls for you to blanch fresh stuff and chop it.

it was good. Rich as hell, but good. Almost like spinach lasagna without the lasagna pasta.

I was good, but very filling. Winter food.
