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.

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

For the sauce:
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
1 medium onion, chopped
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Two 28-ounce cans whole tomatoes
2 teaspoons dried oregano
For the filling:
Two 15-ounce containers part-skim ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cups packed basil leaves
1/2 cup grated Parmesan (about 2 ounces)
2 large egg yolks
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For the assembly:
2 10-ounce packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed, or 1 1/2 pounds fresh spinach, steamed
Pinch kosher salt
Vegetable-oil cooking spray
9 no-boil lasagna noodles (such as Barilla)
1 pound fresh mozzarella, grated (about 4 cups)
Special equipment:
9 x 13 x 2-inch baking dish, preferably glass

Steps:

  • Preparation:
  • Position the rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 375°F.
  • Make the sauce:
  • In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the sausage, onion and 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook, breaking up sausage with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add garlic, red-pepper flakes, and tomato paste; cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes more. Add tomatoes (along with their juice) and oregano; bring to a simmer, and cook, breaking up the tomatoes with a wooden spoon until in small pieces, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more red-pepper flakes if desired.
  • Make the filling:
  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine all of the filling ingredients and process until mostly smooth.
  • Assemble the lasagna:
  • Squeeze the spinach in a paper towel or clean dishcloth until very dry. Transfer to a bowl and season with a pinch of salt.
  • Coat baking dish with cooking spray and spread the bottom with 2 cups sauce. Top with a layer of three noodles, then a third of the ricotta mixture (about 1 1/3 cups), and a third of the spinach (about 2/3 cup). Sprinkle with 1 cup grated mozzarella.
  • Repeat twice more, skipping the mozzarella on the third layer. Top the lasagna with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups mozzarella in clusters so some of the sauce peeks through.
  • Place the baking pan on a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly spray a piece of foil with cooking spray, cover the lasagna, and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until lightly browned and bubbly, about 20 minutes more. Let cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
  • DO AHEAD: The sauce can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated. The filling can be prepared up to 1 day in advance and refrigerated.

TOMATO SPINACH CREAM CHEESE LASAGNA



Tomato Spinach Cream Cheese Lasagna image

This easy to make, delicious vegetarian lasagna is layered a bit differently than your ordinary lasagna. The idea for it comes from the cookbook "comida vegetariana" published by trident press, but we have modified it a bit to suit our taste even more. I hope youll enjoy it as much as we did! You can also easily veganise this by using a vegan cream cheese, non-dairy milk and opting out of the cheese or using a soy cheese.

Time 1h

Yield 1 large lasagna

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 tablespoon oil
3 medium sized carrots, chopped
2 medium onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
680 g passata (you can also use your fav pasta sauce and omit seasonings)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sage, dried
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 bunch parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons flour
500 ml milk, warmed (as a vegan use non-dairy)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 laurel leaf, dried
1/4 teaspoon sage, dried
250 g frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and drained
200 g cream cheese (low-fat is fine, as a vegan use a vegan brand)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons blue cheese, crumbled (as a vegan opt out of this)
1 teaspoon psyllium, husk ground (or use flax seeds)
8 sheets whole wheat lasagna noodles
1 cup cheese, grated (use your favourite, as a vegan opt out of or use soy)

Steps:

  • For the tomato sauce heat the oil in a large frying pan. When it's hot, add the chopped vegetables and the garlic. Sautee until lightly browned (about 5 minutes).
  • Then add the passata or pasta sauce and seasonings if using. Simmer for 10 minutes, then set aside.
  • For the white sauce heat the oil in a pot. When it's hot, add the flour stirring vigorously using a wire whisk for about 2 minutes or until flour is nicely browned.
  • Add a small portion of the warm milk and stir to combine. Add the remaining milk little by little stirring after each addition.
  • Season, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes or until thickened. Set aside.
  • For the cream cheese spinach layer combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
  • When your're ready to assemble the lasagna spread a bit of the tomato sauce in a large casserole dish (mine holds about 5 l/5 quarts). Top with two lasagna sheets and then half of the remaining tomato sauce. Top with another 2 sheets of lasagna and then the remaining half of the tomato sauce.
  • Then add another 2 sheets of lasagna and on top of that the spinach cream cheese spread.
  • Cover with another 2 lasagna sheets, pour over white sauce and top with grated cheese (if using).
  • Place in the preheated oven and bake at 180°C/350°F for about 30 minutes or until bubbly and nicely browned (you might need to cover it after 20 minutes if it gets too brown).
  • Remove from the oven and allow to set up for 20 minutes before cutting.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh tomatoes and spinach will give your lasagna the best flavor. If you can't find fresh spinach, frozen spinach will also work.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and won't hold their shape in the lasagna.
  • Layer the lasagna carefully: When assembling the lasagna, layer the ingredients carefully so that each layer is evenly distributed. This will help to ensure that the lasagna cooks evenly.
  • Bake the lasagna until it's golden brown: Bake the lasagna for the full amount of time specified in the recipe, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the lasagna rest before serving: Once the lasagna is baked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help the lasagna to set and make it easier to cut.

Conclusion:

Tomato spinach cream cheese lasagna is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion meal. With its creamy sauce, tender noodles, and flavorful filling, this lasagna is sure to be a hit.
