5 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
For lasagne
2 pounds Asian or baby Italian eggplants (4 to 6), halved crosswise, then cut lengthwise into slices slightly less than 1/4 inch thick
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
10 ounces baby spinach
1 pound ricotta (preferably fresh)
1 large egg yolk, lightly beaten
1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1 ounce)
8 dried lasagne noodles (not no-boil; 8 ounces)

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Toss tomatoes with 3 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and arrange, cut sides up, in 1 layer in 2 oiled glass or ceramic shallow baking dishes. Roast tomatoes in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of dishes halfway through baking, until skins are wrinkled and beginning to brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool slightly in baking dishes on racks.
  • Roast eggplant for lasagne:
  • Toss eggplant slices with oil, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and arrange in 1 layer on 2 oiled baking sheets. Bake in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking and turning slices over once, until tender, 12 to 14 minutes.

Stir in tomato purée, water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and reduced to about 4 cups, about 15 minutes. Stir in basil.
  • Make filling and assemble lasagne:
  • While sauce is simmering, cook spinach in a 3- to 4-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, 1 minute, then drain in a colander. When cool enough to handle, squeeze any excess water from spinach and coarsely chop. Stir together ricotta, yolk, spinach, parmesan, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until combined well.
  • Cook lasagne noodles in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water , stirring occasionally, until tender. Drain noodles in a colander and rinse under cold running water.
  • Spoon 2 cups tomato sauce into a 13- by 9-inch glass baking dish (or other 3-quart shallow baking dish). Lay out 4 lasagne noodles on a work surface, then spread 1/3 cup filling evenly over each noodle and cover with eggplant slices in 1 layer. Roll up each and arrange spirals, seam sides down and without touching, over sauce in dish, then make 4 more rolls and arrange in dish. Brush noodles with water, then spoon some sauce down middle of rolls and cover dish tightly with foil.

This spinach lasagna recipe is a great meat-free take on the beloved Italian classic.

Categories     パン     comfort food     dinner     main dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 stick salted butter
2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste
12 lasagna noodles
3 bunches fresh spinach, trimmed
Black pepper, to taste
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
4 c. whole milk
1 c. heavy cream
1 3/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
1 lb. whole-milk ricotta cheese
2 large egg yolks
1 c. fresh parsley, roughly chopped
4 scallions, chopped
8 oz. ounces deli-sliced low-moisture mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°. Use 1 tablespoon butter to grease a 9-by-13-inch flame-proof baking dish. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook about 3 minutes shy of the package cooking time. Drain and rinse under cold water. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a dutch oven over medium heat. Add the spinach, season with 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and some pepper; cook, stirring, until wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Add half of the garlic and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly, then wrap in a clean kitchen towel and wring out the liquid.
  • Wipe the dutch oven clean. Add the remaining 5 tablespoons butter and melt over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking, until smooth and thick, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining garlic and 1 teaspoon salt and cook until sizzling, about 30 seconds. Slowly stir in the milk and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly; cook, stirring, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in1 cup parmesan and remove from the heat.
  • Stir together the ricotta, egg yolks, parsley, scallions, 1⁄2 cup parmesan, 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and some pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Spread 1 cup of the sauce in the baking dish. Arrange 4 noodles lengthwise in the dish. Spread with another 11⁄2 cups sauce. Layer half of the mozzarella over the sauce, then spread with half of the ricotta mixture and half of the spinach. Repeat the layering (noodles, sauce, mozzarella, ricotta and spinach). Top with the remaining 4 noodles and spread with the remaining sauce (about 1 cup). Sprinkle with the remaining 1⁄4 cup parmesan.
  • Cover with foil, tenting it so it doesn't touch the lasagna. Place on a baking sheet and bake until the edges begin to bubble, about 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden brown on top, 30 to 35 minutes. Switch the oven to broil and broil 1 minute to brown the top. Let sit 15 minutes before serving.

TRADITIONAL ITALIAN SPINACH LASAGNA



Traditional Italian Spinach Lasagna image

This is a dish I make only once a year. We invite friends to dinner. If there are any leftovers, I freeze them in single serving size bags and put those into a large freezer bag. This is labor intensive, and an all day affair for me. I like that the crosswise sections make me think of the Italian flag.

Tips:

  • When choosing spinach, look for leaves that are deep green and crisp. Avoid leaves that are wilted or yellowed.
  • Before using the spinach, wash it thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. To do this, fill a large bowl with cold water and swish the spinach around for a few minutes. Then, drain the water and pat the spinach dry.
  • If you are using fresh spinach, you will need to wilt it before using it in the lasagna spirals. To do this, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the spinach. Cook the spinach, stirring constantly, until it is wilted and has released its liquid. Then, drain the spinach and pat it dry.
  • When making the cheese filling, use a combination of ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese. This will give the filling a rich and flavorful taste.
  • To prevent the lasagna spirals from sticking together, brush them with olive oil before baking them.
  • Bake the lasagna spirals until they are golden brown and bubbly. This will take about 20-25 minutes.

Conclusion:

Spinach lasagna spirals are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. They are also a great way to use up leftover spinach. With their creamy cheese filling and crispy phyllo dough, spinach lasagna spirals are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
