Ingredients

  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 600 g spinach coarsely chopped
  • 100 g butter
  • 100 g flour
  • 1 l whole milk
  • 300 g basil pesto
  • 100 g Parmesan + extra for sprinkling
  • 1 packet of lasagna sheets
  • salt
  • pepper
  • olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180 ° C/356° F, Fan.
  • Warm a pan over medium heat, add the onion and spinach, and sauté until the liquids have evaporated and set aside.

For the cheese cream:

  • Place a saucepan over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the flour, stir with a hand whisk, and sauté until the flour is cooked.
  • Add the milk in batches, stirring constantly with a whisk to avoid lumps and cook until the cream thickens.
  • Add the spinach, pesto, Parmesan, salt and pepper, and stir until the mixture is uniform, then set aside.
  • Spread a little of the cheese cream on the bottom of a 25×35 cm (10×14") baking pan, top with 3 lasagna sheets and top with cream. Layer like this until the lasagna and cream are used up.
  • Sprinkle with Parmesan and bake for 35-40 minutes.
  • Allow the lasagna to cool, cut and serve.

Notes

Chef’s tip:
1. If you prefer, use a different type of pesto such as this delicious coriander & cashew pesto.
2. Instead of Parmesan, you can use any smoked cheese or gouda.
