- 1 tsp. minced garlic shopping list
- 1 cup chopped mushrooms (approximately) shopping list
- 1 cup torn fresh spinach (approximately) shopping list
- 1 tsp dried basil (even better with fresh basil, if you have it) shopping list
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella (or any other cheese) shopping list
How to make it
- Cook rice (or leftover rice works great)
- Meanwhile add butter and/or olive oil to pan over med - med/low heat
- Saute onion, garlic
- Add mushrooms and let cook down without stirring (about 5 mins. or so)
- Add spinach and stir till cooked down
- Add basil, salt and pepper to taste
- Add cooked rice and 1/2 cup of cheese to spinach/mushroom mixture and combine
- Put in small casserole and top with remaining cheese
- Bake in 350 oven till bubbly (it's already cooked and hot, so however long you like)

Oh, what an excellent idea! Looks terrific. I've got some leftover brown rice in the fridge right now. Hope you don't mind if I "health" it up one more bit!
