     Title: Baked Spanakopita Pasta w/Greens & Feta
Categories: Pasta, Greens, Cheese, Herbs
     Yield: 4 Servings

          Salt & black pepper
     4 c  Chopped spinach, Swiss chard
          - or other mild greens;
          - tough stems removed
     4 c  Chopped arugula, watercress
          - or other peppery greens
     1 c  Chopped fresh dill or
          - parsley leaves; w/tender
          - stems, or a combination
     6    Scallions; trimmed, thin
          - sliced, whites & dark
          - green separated
     1 lb Tubular or curvy pasta
     2 tb Unsalted butter
     4 cl Garlic; peeled, thin sliced
     8 oz Cream cheese; in 1/2" cubes
     4 oz Mozzarella; grated
     4 oz Crumbled feta

 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Set the
 oven @ 450ºF/232ºC.

 In a 3 quart/9" X 13" baking dish, toss the chopped
 spinach, arugula, herbs and scallion greens with 2
 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Squeeze
 the mixture with your hands to wilt, then set aside.

 Cook the pasta in the boiling water until 2 minutes shy
 of al dente; reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain pasta
 and set aside. Return the pot to the stove.

 Melt the butter in the pot over medium heat. Add the
 scallion whites, garlic and a pinch of salt, and sauté
 until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cream cheese and
 pasta water and stir until smooth. Stir in the wilted
 greens, half the mozzarella and half the feta until
 combined. Stir in the pasta until combined. Taste and
 adjust seasonings as needed.

 Transfer the pasta to the baking dish, then top with
 remaining mozzarella and feta. Bake until the sauce has
 thickened and bubbly and the top has browned in spots,
 10 to 15 minutes. If you like a crisper top, broil for a
 few minutes.
