PASTA AND SPINACH TIMBALE

Preparation Method :

• Preheat oven to moderate 180°C. Brush six 1-cup capacity moulds with melted butter or oil. Line bases with baking paper.
• Heat butter and oil together in a frying pan. Add onion and stir over low heat until onion is tender. Add well-drained spinach and cook for 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool. Whisk in eggs and cream. Stir in the spaghetti or tagliolini, grated cheeses, salt and pepper; stir it well. Spoon into prepared moulds.
• Place moulds in a baking dish. Pour boiling water into baking dish to come halfway up sides of moulds.
• Bake for 25- 30 minutes or until set. Halfway-through cooking, you may need to cover top with a sheet of foil to prevent excess browning.
• Near the end of cooking time, test timbales with the point of a knife. When cooked, the knife should come out clean.
• Allow timbales to rest 20 minutes. Run point of a knife around edge of each mould. Transfer onto serving plates.
