A lusciously creamy sauce of paneer and milk flavoured with nutmeg and pepper plays host to boiled noodles, which is then topped with spinach and grated cheese. What makes this Noodle and Spinach Bake convenient to prepare is that it is microwaved for two minutes to fuse the cheese with the other ingredients, rather than baking the setup for a longer time. While this is a quick alternative, it is equally important that it is served immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavour.
