Recipe for 4-6
Ingredients:
500gr lasagna noodles (no boil)
1 cup crumbled ricotta cheese
1.5 cup grated Mozzarella cheese
2.5 cups grated tomatos (fresh or canned)
1/2 cup water
1 large bunch fresh spinach, washed and cut by hand
1 clove garlic, puréed
1 clove garlic, puréed
1 large white onion, thinly chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 teaspoon black pepper, powder
Butter for greasing the ovenproof pan
Breadcrumbs for coating the walls of the oven proof pan
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 180oC.
In large skillet preheat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and the garlic for 2-3 minutes, and season with salt, cinnamon and pepper. Add the tomato sauce and the water. Let simmer for 5 minutes and add the spinach. Cook, until spinach decreases to half in volume and remove from heat.
In a bowl combine the ricotta and the mozzarella cheeses.
Grease the walls of a large rectangular ovenproof pan and coat its’ walls with breadcrumbs.
Using a spoon collect tomato sauce (no spinach) from the skillet and pour it on the bottom of the ovenproof pan. Place a layer of dry (uncooked) lasagna noodles over the tomato sauce, then a layer of the cheese mixture (about 1/3 of the quantity) and a layer of spinach sauce. Over the spinach place another layer of lasagna, then another layer of cheese (again 1/3 of the quantity) and the rest of the spinach (keep some tomato sauce for the top). End with a layer of noodles, a layer of the remaining tomato sauce and rest of the cheese mixture. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove foil at the last 5 to 10 minutes to create a nice cheese crust on top.
Serve hot and……Enjoy!!!
