Lacking an oven safe frying pan we just heat in a sauce pan and transfer to oven safe dish. We ran short of time and used Pieta Chips instead. Still pretty darn good! A recipe is a suggestion!
Ingredients:
- Approximately 3 cups marinara sauce, jarred or homemade
- 2 big handfuls fresh baby spinach (about 2 cups) (10-12 oz chopped frozen spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry, will work in a pinch)
- 8 ounce ball fresh mozzarella, cut into approximately 1/4 inch thick slices
- 1 baguette, sliced
- Olive oil
- A clove of garlic (optional)
Directions:
- Pre-heat oven to broil.
- Lay the slices of baguette cut side down on a baking sheet.
- Brush the slices of baguette with olive oil,
- Place in the oven and broil until golden, don’t walk away this will happen fast.
- Peel a clove of garlic and cut it in half.
- Rub the cut side of the garlic all over the top of the warm toasted baguette slices.
- Set aside.
- In an 8 or 10 inch oven safe skillet, add the marinara sauce and baby spinach.
- Heat the sauce over medium high heat, stirring it until the spinach wilts and the sauce is heated through.
- Remove the pan from the heat.
- Lay the slices of mozzarella all over the top in a single layer.
- Place the skillet in the oven and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 3-5 minutes.
- Serve immediately with the slices of baguette.
Serves 6-8
