Ingredients
- 500 g lasagna sheets
- 50 g butter
- 375 g fresh baby spinach
- 50 g plain wheat flour
- 250 g ricotta
- 750 ml whole milk
- 100 g grated Parmesan
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 handful fresh basil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 onion
- 2 tbsp sunflower oil
- 1 pinch ground white pepper
- 1 egg (size M)
Method
- 1Heat the sunflower oil in a pan and sauté the finely diced onion until translucent.
- 2Add the pressed garlic and fry briefly until fragrant.
- 3Add the fresh baby spinach and let it wilt. Season with salt and pepper, then let it cool slightly.
- 4In a bowl, mix the ricotta with the egg, one-third of the Parmesan, and the spinach mixture. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
- 5For the béchamel, melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour, and continuously stir to create a light roux.
- 6Gradually add the whole milk, stirring constantly, until a smooth, thick béchamel forms.
- 7Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Finally, stir in the freshly chopped basil.
- 8Grease a baking dish with a little butter.
- 9Spread some béchamel sauce on the bottom of the dish and layer with lasagna sheets.
- 10Spread a portion of the spinach-ricotta mixture over the lasagna sheets, pour béchamel over it, and continue with the next layer of lasagna sheets.
- 11Repeat the process until all ingredients are used. The last layer should consist of béchamel sauce, sprinkled with the remaining Parmesan.
- 12Bake the lasagna in a preheated oven at 180 °C (top/bottom heat) for approx. 40–50 minutes, until the surface is golden brown and the pasta is tender.
