Matzo Spinach Lasagna image

What to do with leftovers after your seder? This unleavened twist on lasagna is a great way to use leftover matzo. Substitute layers of matzo for the noodles, then spread with a mixture of spinach and ricotta cheese. Look for the kosher-for-Passover signifier on all the other ingredients.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Extra-virgin olive oil, for dish
2 cups ricotta or small-curd cottage cheese
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1 1/4 cups grated Parmesan (about 4 ounces)
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon juice
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed of excess moisture
4 sheets matzo

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush bottom and sides of an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with oil.
  • Whisk together ricotta, eggs, half-and-half, 3/4 cup Parmesan, zest, and nutmeg. Season generously with salt and pepper. In another bowl, toss spinach with lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.
  • Place 1 matzo sheet in bottom of prepared baking dish. Pour 1 cup cheese mixture over matzo. Sprinkle evenly with one-third of spinach mixture. Repeat layers 2 more times. Top with remaining matzo and drizzle with remaining cheese mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, until puffed and golden brown on top, 35 to 40 minutes (cover with foil if browning too quickly). Let cool 15 minutes, then serve.

This lasagna was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The lasagna was a bit dry. I think I should have added more sauce.

This lasagna was a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This lasagna is a great alternative to traditional lasagna. It's lighter and healthier, but still just as delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of matzo, but this lasagna changed my mind. It was so flavorful and cheesy, I couldn't get enough.
