Spinach Lasagne


Servings : 2
Time Taken : 30-45 mins

Method of Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Put the frozen spinach in the bowl of a
food processor and process it until broken up and nearly flaked.

Add the garlic, oregano, parsley, ricotta, eggs, and mozzarella.
Process briefly until the mixture is uniform.

Pour about 1/4 of the tomatoes on the bottom of a baking pan. Cover
the pan with a layer of lasagne noodles (uncooked). Spread 1/3 of the
spinach/cheese mixture over the noodles. Repeat two more times with
tomatoes, noodles and spinach/cheese mixture, ending with a layer of
plain noodles on the top. Pour the remainder of the tomatoes on top of
the noodles. Sprinkle with some more Parmesan cheese in cooking.

Cover tightly with foil. Bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil, and bake
for an additional 15 minutes. If any of the noodles have not softened
after the first hour, carefully tuck them under the sauce to be sure
that they will soften during the final baking period.

Let the lasagne sit for about 10 minutes before serving.

Serve hot with garlic bread!
