Serves 6:
1 pound uncooked pasta (orecchiette, elbows, orzo..)
1/2 cup olive oil
​1/3 cup all purpose flour
​5 cups milk plus 2 cups pasta water
4 cups baby spinach leaves or 1 pound frozen spinach leaves, thawed)
3 garlic cloves, minced
​2 teaspoons dried dill
1 teaspoon salt
​1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
freshly ground white pepper
pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
crumbled feta cheese

Note* Make the sauce as the pasta is cooking or before. The pasta should not sit in the strainer after it drains. It should go directly in the sauce. This will prevent the pasta from becoming one big massive clump of orzo. Also, the pasta will cook and absorb flavor from the sauce for a couple of minutes and will become delicious 🙂

Boil the pasta until al dente in salted water and drain.

In another pot, heat the olive oil and minced garlic over medium heat for a few seconds, just until aromatic.
Add flour and whisk it well. Cook it for 2-3 minutes.
Add the milk, 2 cups of the pasta water and the seasonings. Cook until slightly thickened. Add chopped spinach and pasta.
​Bring to a boil and thin out the sauce with some more water or milk if necessary.

Mix well and taste it to see if it needs more salt and pepper. 

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and feta on top and some dried oregano. Mix well and serve immediately.

Enjoy 🙂

    OMG this looks fabulous!!! I LOVE your recipes!! I have to try this soon. I was wondering if you've ever heard of a Greek "burnt butter" Greek mac and cheese? A friend said she had it at a Greek friends house. I have looked online but can't find a recipe for it. Any idea??

    I like everything has to do with pasta or pasta like. What a great idea, I'll definitely try this recipe soon.

    WoW…….that really looks good!! I quick question, was the spinach thawed or still frozen when you added it? Thank you for all your recipes.

    It looks so very delicious and I am damn sure that using such amazing ingredients that this dish does not look delicious but also tastes deliciously good.
    But poor me. I could never eat it w/out having to throw it up afterwards. After my Eating Disorder I can't eat heavy meals anymore. And this is way too heavy. Sometimes I do coo such heavy meals cause I do love the taste of them but it's always clear/planed that I've got to go to the bathroom afterwards.
    I'm sorry for bringing this up. Hope I didn't disturb anybody w my comment (??) If yes, please feel free to let me know,I'll delete it.

    Oh Dimitra!!! You've just taken Mac & Cheese to new level! I'd pay big bucks for that! Friggin' Greek Mac & Cheese – no contest, especially with the garlic thrown in to aromatise everything in the beginning of this stunning (but yet simple) dish. You're a LEGEND!!!
