Recipe for 6 as a main course
Ingredients
- 1kg spinach
- 1kg ricotta
- 2 shallots
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 30g butter
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 nutmeg
- 60g butter
- 40g flour
- 1L milk
- 200g gruyere
- 400g mozzarella
- 400g lasagne sheets
Method
1. Start by finely dicing the shallots and garlic.
2. Sweat the garlic and shallots in 30g of butter and 2 tbsp of olive oil until the shallots go translucent.
3. Start adding the spinach in the pot one large handful at a time. Once it's halved in size, add another handful until everything is in the pot. Once it's just cooked, pour it into a colander to let it drain.
4. For the white sauce, in a large pot melt the 60g of butter. Once melted, add in the flour and whisk until smooth.
5. Warm your 1L of milk (either in the microwave or a pot) and grate the Gruyere and mozzarella.
6. Add the warm milk to a pot, half the at a time, and stir until silky smooth.
7. Add the cheese (reserve some cheese for the top) and mix until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and freshly grated nutmeg.
8. Place your drained spinach into a food processor and add half of the ricotta. Pulse until it's mixed. Add the second half of your ricotta and stir in by hand. Season with salt and pepper and a little bit more nutmeg.
9. Now it's time to lay out your lasagne. Start with white sauce on the bottom, then the pasta sheets and finally your spinach ricotta. Repeat until everything is used up. Finish with the white sauce.
10. Sprinkle the remainder of the cheese over the top, cover with tinfoil and place in a 200°c oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and cook for a further 20 minutes.
