Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces Frozen pierogies
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to make a roux.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to create a smooth sauce. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and the cheese is melted. Remove from heat.
In the prepared baking dish, layer the frozen pierogies evenly. Top with the fresh spinach leaves.
Pour the prepared cream sauce evenly over the pierogies and spinach, ensuring they are fully coated.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
