SPINACH LASAGNA
LASAGNE-3 - Classic spinach lasagna
This recipe was posted to usenet by sridhar@spt.tek.com who
got it from Sean Gilley (slg@e.ms.uky.edu). I modifed it
slightly to my tastes (naturally).
INGREDIENTS (Serves 6-8)
32 oz tomato sauce
1 lb canned tomatoes
1-2 medium onions
8 cloves garlic
8 oz black olives, drained (optional)
8 oz green olives, drained (optional)
8 oz mushrooms (optional)
1 large bunch broccoli (optional)
12-16 oz mozzarella cheese
12-16 oz other cheese (cheddar, swiss, jack, etc.)
16 oz cottage cheese
1/2 cup parsley (optional)
8-12 oz spinach
3 eggs
2 lb lasagna noodles (approximately 2 boxes)
Italian spices, to taste
PROCEDURE
(1) Sauce: Put tomatoes and tomato sauce in large pot
over low heat. Press garlic, add. Chop onions,
olives, mushrooms, and broccoli, add. Add spices
to taste. Simmer covered over low heat until the
whole tomatoes have merged with the rest of the
sauce and you can no longer tell where one begins
and the other ends.
(2) Cheese: Grate the cheeses and mix. Add eggs,
parsley, and spinach, mix well.
(3) Building the lasagna: In a lasagna pan, put in
just enough sauce to cover the bottom of the pan.
Make a layer of noodles. Using about half of the
available cheese mixture, make a layer of cheese.
Another layer of noodles. Cover the noodles with
sauce, the important thing being to make sure all
noodles have at least some sauce on them. Another
layer of noodles. Use the rest of the cheese mix-
ture and make a layer of cheese. Put down the
last layer of noodles, then use the remaining
amount of sauce, or as much as possible, and cover
the noodles in sauce.
(4) Bake at 375 deg. F for 45 minutes.
NOTES
The lasagna noodles are uncooked when you build the lasagna.
Be stingy with the sauce, if you aren't, you'll end up short
at the end where you need it most.
If you do things as specified here, you will end up with a
lasagna layered as (s-n-c-n-s-n-c-n-s), (sauce, noodles,
cheese, etc.) but some prefer the heretic's way: (c-n-s-c-
n-s-c-n-s)
RATING
Difficulty: moderate. Time: 2-3 hours. Precision: Approxi-
mate measurement OK.
