SPINACH LASAGNA



Spinach Lasagna image

Traditional lasagna goes vegetarian when you substitute the meat for vegetables like spinach and zucchini. Layer this spinach lasagna with 3 types of cheese and bechamel sauce. You won't even miss the meat.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Vegetarian Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 pounds baby spinach
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 quart milk
1 packed cup grated Parmesan (3 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 medium zucchini (about 1 pound), sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick planks
8 ounces no-boil lasagna noodles
6 ounces mozzarella, shredded
1/3 packed cup (1 ounce) grated Pecorino Romano

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack in middle position.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, add onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 3 minutes. Add spinach, a few handfuls at a time, and cook, stirring frequently, until all spinach is wilted, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a mesh strainer and press against spinach to remove as much liquid as possible.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter over high heat. Add flour and cook, whisking constantly, until roux is golden brown, 1 minute. Add milk and continue whisking until milk begins to boil and thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Cover surface with plastic wrap.
  • Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and fry zucchini, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, 2 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate to drain and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Spread 1 cup bechamel along the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Place one-third of noodles over bechamel in a single, overlapping layer. Top with 1 cup bechamel and half of spinach. Repeat with a second layer of noodles, bechamel, and spinach. Top with remaining noodles, remaining bechamel, zucchini, mozzarella, and Pecorino Romano. Cover with foil and bake 45 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until cheese is golden in places and lasagna is bubbling along the edges, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove lasagna from oven and let stand 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

SPINACH LASAGNA



Spinach Lasagna image

My husbands favorite food. My mother-in-law gave me the recipe when we got married so that my husband wouldn't be without it. You can really put things in any order. Sometimes I put in a layer of the mozzarella in the middle. Sometimes I add sliced mushrooms or soy fake meat. The real secret is the more sauce and cheese, the better.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8 ounce) box lasagna noodles
2 (26 ounce) jars pasta sauce
ricotta cheese or cottage cheese
1/2-1 lb mozzarella cheese
1 (32 ounce) bag spinach

Steps:

  • Cover the bottom of a rectangle pan with sauce (just enough to cover.) I use the large deep foil pan. It is best to use a pan deep enough to leave room at the top, so that foil doesn't touch the lasagne and get stuck on the cheese.
  • Put a layer of lasagna noodles (uncooked)--kind of overlap them. I usually overlap 4 to fit across the pan.
  • Now put a layer of ricotta cheese. Spread thinly across the noodles.
  • Pour on sauce.
  • Then spinach and more sauce.
  • Repeat: Noodles, ricotta, sauce, spinach, sauce. Noodles, ricotta, sauce, spinach, sauce.
  • End with noodles.
  • Pour sauce over.
  • Then really end with grated mozzarella.
  • Cover pan tightly with foil, put in oven at 350 degrees and cook about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Serve with a salad and some french bread (whole wheat is best!) and you have a great meal.

250 g ricotta cheese, creamy style (I use low fat)
250 g mozzarella cheese
250 g cheddar cheese (I use low fat)
570 g tomato & onion flavoured pasta sauce
500 g baby spinach leaves (frozen is OK too, just defrost and remove excess water first)
375 g lasagna sheets (I use fresh sheets)

Steps:

  • Pre hear oven to 180c.
  • Grease lasagne pan.
  • Spread some of tomato sauce on bottom of dish.
  • Lay lasagne sheets on top of sauce.
  • Spread half riccotta cheese on top.

  • Spread some more of the tomato sauce on top and repeat.
  • Finish with lasagne sheets and top with remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in oven for 40 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh baby spinach with tender leaves will work best for this vegetarian lasagna recipe. Avoid using frozen spinach, as it can release a lot of water during cooking, potentially making the lasagna soggy.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Adding fresh spinach towards the end of the cooking process will help retain its vibrant green color and nutrients.
  • Use a good quality ricotta cheese: Ricotta cheese is a key ingredient in lasagna, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a ricotta cheese that is fresh and creamy, with a smooth texture.
  • Don't overmix the filling: Overmixing the filling can make it dense and rubbery. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Using a combination of cheeses in the filling, such as mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta, will add depth of flavor to the lasagna.
  • Don't skimp on the sauce: A flavorful sauce is essential for a delicious lasagna. Use a homemade sauce if you have time, or choose a good quality store-bought sauce.
  • Cook the lasagna until it's bubbly and golden brown: The lasagna is done cooking when it's bubbly around the edges and the top is golden brown.

Conclusion:

Spinach lasagna is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. With its combination of fresh spinach, creamy ricotta cheese, flavorful sauce, and gooey mozzarella, this lasagna is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a satisfying and easy-to-make dinner, give this spinach lasagna recipe a try.
