On med heat, stir in 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese to the spinach. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup more milk a little at a time, stirring until it is a creamy, gravy like consistency. Add salt and pepper (to taste).

In a small frying pan, fry minced garlic in olive oil, and stir into the spinach/milk mixture.

Pour spinach sauce evenly over top of vegetables and bake, covered for 30 min at 375 F. Uncover and bake 5 minutes or until browned on top.

If you add 1 cup cooked rice or pasta, and 1 cup chopped ham or 1/2 cup cooked crumbled bacon to this recipe, you have a complete meal in one pan.

I love the sound of your spinach sauce! Would really like to try this casserole but I am not a fan of cooked mushrooms. Would it alter the taste of the recipe too much if I didn't use them and simply added an equal mushroom weight amount of extra zuccini to compensate instead?
