Recipe: Spinach & Goat’s Cheese Lasagne - Recette: Lasagnes aux Epinards & au Chèvre

Submitted by Nathalie on Tuesday, 31 March 2009No Comment

When Nicolas and I thought of spinach as our featured veg this week, I immediately remembered that I had prepared delicious spinach lasagne a while ago. It is a simple recipe which does not require a lot of preparation. A delicious vegetarian dish that even meat eaters will enjoy!

When it comes to lasagna, I don’t know why but I prefer using dry pasta. I don’t like using fresh lasagna as they are not crisp enough to my taste. You can also make your own pasta if you like - I’ve never done it but I’ll give it a go soon. I wish I had just a little more time to experiment new recipes.

Spinach & goat cheese lasagna

Spinach & Goat’s Cheese Lasagne

Serves 4 - Ready in 1h15

Ingredients

  • 8-10 dry lasagne sheets
  • 500g fresh spinach
  • 300g goat’s cheese
  • 80g grated Cheddar cheese
  • 1 onion
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper

For the bechamel sauce:

  • 10g butter
  • 20g flour
  • milk
  • salt and pepper

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 200°C / gas 6.

Slice the onion finely. Heat the olive oil and gently fry the onion for a few minutes until soft. Add in the fresh spinach, a bit of salt and pepper. Cook on a medium-heat until wilted. Drain and reserve until needed.

Finely slice the goat’s cheese. Reserve until needed.

Prepare the bechamel sauce by melting the butter in a saucepan. You can then add the flour and stir immediately. Then pour in milk a little at a time, stirring constantly. Add milk until you reach the right consistance. Season well.

All your ingredients are now ready to be assembled into lasagne. Start by spreading a thin layer of bechamel sauce into the bottom of your dish. Add a layer of pasta, then half the spinach, half the goat’s cheese, pasta again, and the rest of the spinach and cheese. Finish off with a layer of pasta.

On top of the lasagne, spread the rest of the bechamel sauce. Sprinkle grated Cheddar cheese.

Bake 45 minutes. It should be golden and bubbling.

Bon Appétit!

Lasagnes aux Epinards & au Chèvre

Pour 4 personnes - Prêt en 1h15

Ingrédients

  • 8-10 plaques de lasagne sèches
  • 500g épinards frais
  • 300g fromage de chèvre (style bûche)
  • 80g fromage râpé
  • 1 oignon
  • 2 cs huile d’olive
  • sel et poivre

Pour la sauce béchamel:

  • 10g beurre
  • 20g farine
  • lait
  • sel et poivre

Préparation

Préchauffez le four à 200°C.

Emincez finement l’oignon. Faites le revenir quelques minutes dans l’huile d’olive. Ajoutez ensuite les épinards, sel et poivre. Faites cuire à feu moyen. Egouttez et réservez.

Coupez le fromage de chèvre en tranches fines.

Préparez ensuite la sauce béchamel: faites fondre le beurre dans une casserole. Ajoutez ensuite la farine, mélangez bien, puis le lait, petit à petit en mélangeant au fouet entre chaque ajout. Ajoutez du lait jusqu’à obtenir la consistance voulue. Assaisonnez.

Tous vos ingrédients sont désormais prêts à être assemblés: commencez par une fine couche de béchamel au fond de votre plat. Ajoutez ensuite une couche de pâte, puis la moitié des épinards, la moitié du fromage de chèvre. Continuez avec de nouveau une couche de pâtes, puis le reste des épinards, et le reste du fromage de chèvre. Finissez par une couche de pâte, une couche de sauce béchamel et enfin le fromage râpé sur le dessus.

Enfournez 45 minutes.

Bon Appétit !
