Lasagna is a true classic of Italian cuisine and offers countless variations. Today we'd like to introduce a particularly delicious and hearty version: spinach and feta lasagna.

This dish combines the tangy flavor of feta and spinach with an aromatic tomato sauce and plenty of cheese – a perfect recipe for gourmets and home cooks who like to try new things.

Preparation time: 25 minutes

Cooking/baking time: 30 minutes

Total time: 55 minutes

Ingredients for 6 servings:

• 700 g creamed spinach

• 200g feta

• 200 ml milk

• 750 g strained tomatoes

• 1 onion

• 100 g tomato paste

• 2 tbsp vegetable stock powder

• 1 pinch of sugar

• 12 lasagna sheets

• 200 g grated cheese (Gouda)

Preparation:

Step 1: Prepare tomato sauce

First, dice the onion into small cubes and sauté it in a little olive oil until translucent. Add the passata, sugar, and vegetable stock, mix well, and bring the sauce to a boil. Then simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens. Add the tomato paste and blend the sauce until smooth.

Step 2: Prepare the spinach and feta cream

Place the spinach and milk in a saucepan and thaw over low heat. Crumble the feta and stir it into the spinach. Let the spinach simmer for another 5 minutes to dissolve the feta and the mixture develops a creamy consistency. At this point, you can add onions and garlic to the spinach for even more flavor.

Step 3: Layer the lasagna

Take a large baking dish. First, cover the bottom of the dish with a little milk and spread a layer of lasagna sheets on top. Then add a layer of the spinach and feta cream and cover with more lasagna sheets. Finally, spread a layer of tomato sauce on top. Repeat this process until all the ingredients are used up. Make sure to finish with a layer of tomato sauce or spinach to prevent the lasagna from becoming too dry. Finally, sprinkle the lasagna generously with grated Gouda cheese.

Step 4: Baking

Bake the lasagna in a preheated oven at 200°C top and bottom heat for about 30 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown and the lasagna is cooked through.

Tips & Variations:

• Additional flavors: Fresh garlic or basil can add extra depth of flavor to the tomato sauce.

• Vegetarian version: For a vegan version, replace the feta with a plant-based alternative and the Gouda with vegan cheese.

• Side dishes: A fresh salad or crispy garlic bread go perfectly with this lasagna.

Serving suggestion:

Serve the spinach and feta lasagna in attractive, deep plates to showcase the layers and colors. Garnish with some fresh parsley or basil for a fresh pop of color. A fresh salad with a light lemon dressing and crusty garlic bread are perfect accompaniments. For a complete flavor experience, complement it with a glass of homemade iced tea or a refreshing lemonade.

Conclusion:

This spinach and feta lasagna is a truly comforting dish, captivating with its harmonious combination of creamy spinach, tangy feta, and aromatic tomato sauce. This dish is not only easy to prepare but also perfect for a cozy family meal. Springlane products such as the casserole dish, the "Sam" hand blender, and the "Hanno" high-performance blender are particularly practical during preparation, ensuring a consistent consistency and perfect preparation. The Springlane "Cocotte Ruby" is also ideal, as it ensures even heat distribution and helps dissolve the feta in the spinach and thicken the tomato sauce.
