From the Test Kitchen
  • Tip Test Kitchen Tip:This rice dish tastes just as creamy when you make it with reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel). And the casserole can be assembled ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 hours before baking. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time to heat the casserole through.

Does the spinach need to be thawed before using in this recipe?
