Lasagna Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
Prepare the Spinach
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the fresh spinach and blanch for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Drain and cool under cold water. Squeeze out excess water and chop finely.
Make the Ricotta Filling
In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well and set aside.
Assemble the Lasagna
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). In a baking dish, spread a layer of bechamel sauce, then place 3 lasagna noodles on top. Add half of the ricotta filling, followed by a layer of mozzarella and a sprinkle of parmesan. Repeat the layers, finishing with noodles, bechamel sauce, and remaining cheeses on top.
Bake the Lasagna
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
Serve
Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
