It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

I was looking for a way to eat lentils more often and really enjoyed this recipe. It smelled great while cooking. I probably used more cheese as I was using a very soft mild cheddar that clumped. Got my family to eat it and say they liked it, after first turning up their noses at the idea of a vegetarian casserole. I will make it again!
