Spinach and Ricotta Lasagna

This weekend we had the feeling that the autumn had arrived. We had low temperature, very windy and a little cloudy sky. The weather is being quite strange this year...so I really felt like having a nice plate of pasta would make my day. While we watched the most exiting Formula 1 races we tasted this absolutely delicious Lasagna.

I always prepare the Lasagna the same way, and this time I wanted to try something new. Looking in my cooking books I found this recipe, easy, creamy and mmmm...

Looking now to my old post, I have just realized that I cook Lasagna in autumn days...

Ingredients:

Dry pasta for Lasagna

1 1/2 kg Spinach (I use frozen spinach)

500gr Ricotta

2 onions

1 can of crushed tomato

7 or 8 dried sun tomatoes

200gr corn

100gr mushrooms

Parmesan

25gr flour

25gr butter

milk

salt and pepper

nutmeg

Chop one of the onions and fry till it's transparent.

Also chop the dry tomatoes, and when the onion is ready add them to the pan. Stir for 5 min and add the can of chopped tomatoes. Add a little sugar, salt and pepper to taste.

 

In another pan fry the other chopped onion, and once it's transparent add the spinach, the corn and the mushrooms, and the nutmeg.

Now you have both prepared, take a oven pan, maybe 5cm high...add the first layer of dry pasta. the ones we have here in Spain ( I suppose you may find the same everywhere) has to by hydrated first, we do this with the tomato sauce.

Now you can start with spinach layer, and on top of the spinach you can add the ricotta. You can also mix it previously in a bowl but this is up to you!

Now on top the another dry pasta layer, more tomato sauce on top and more spinach with ricotta. and after that the last layer with dry pasta and what you have left of the tomato sauce. Put the oven to 200º.

For the bachamel sauce. On a deep frying pan, melt the butter, once it's starting to boil, add 2 spoons of flour. Stir till you have a paste and add slowly a little of milk. Don't stop moving the spoon. Add more milk, nutmeg and salt. Add milk till you have an almost liquid sauce. Now the last thing you need to do is to add the grated Parmesan to the sauce and stir well. Add the sauce to the lasagna, and sprinkle some Parmesan on top.

enjoy!!!
