spinach and ricotta lasagne with pine nuts
delia smith
For the sauce:
850ml milk
50g butter
50g plain flour
1 bay leaf
60g parmesan (pumigiano reggiano) freshly grated
salt and freshly milled black pepper
For the lasagne:
l2 fresh lasagne sheets (weighing about 250g)
600g young leaf spinach
225g ricotta
50g pine nuts
knob of butter
4 whole nutmeg grated
200g gorgonzola piccante crumbled
200g mozzarella coarsely grated
salt and freshly milled black pepper
an ovenproof dish measuring about 23 x 23cm and 6cm deep well buttered.
Pre heat the oven to gas mark 4/350F/180C.
Make the sauce which can be done using the all in one methoe (qv all in one white sauce). This means placing the milk butter flour and bay leaf together in a saucepan giving it a good seasoning then over a medium heat whisking the whole lot together continually until it comes to simmering point and has thickened.
Turn the heat down to its lowest possible setting and allow the sauce to cook gently for 5 minutes.
Stir in 50g of the parmesan then remove it from the heat discard the bay leaf and place some clingfilm over the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
Now you need to deal with the spinach. Remove and discard the stalks then wash the leaves really thoroughly in two or three changes of cold water and shake them dry. Take your largest saucepan pop the knob of butter in it then pile the spinach leaves in on top sprinkling them with a little salt as you go.
Place the pan over a medium heat put a lid on and cook the spinach for about 2 minutes turning the leaves over halfway through. After that the leaves will have collapsed down and become tender.
Dain the spinach in a colander and when its cool enough to handle squeeze it in your hands to get rid of every last drop of liquid. Place it on a chopping board and chop it finely.
Put it into a bowl add the ricotta then approximately 150ml of the sauce.
Give it a good seasoning of salt and pepper and add the grated nutmeg.
Mix everything together realty thoroughly and finally fold in the crumbled gorgomola.
Place a small frying pan over a medium heat add the pine nuts and dry fry them for about 1 minute tossing them around to get them nicely toasted but being careful that they dont burn.
Remove the pan from the heat and assemble the lasagne.
To do this spread a quarter of the sauce into the bottom of the dish and on top of that a third of the spinach mixture followed by a scattering of toasted pine nuts.
Place sheets of pasta on top of this you may need to tear some of them in half to make them fit.
Repeat the whole process this time adding a third of the grated mozzarella along with the pine nuts then the lasagne sheets.
Repeat again finishing with a layer of pasta the rest of the sauce and the remaining Parmesan and Mozzarella.
When you are ready to cook the lasagne place it on the middle shelf of the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling.
Remove it from the oven and let it settle for about 10 minutes before serving.
The combination of the four cheeses it its secret and it is always on my top10 list if Im entertaining people who dont eat meat.
