Spinach and Mushroom and Blue Cheese Lasagne
Spinach, Mushroom and Blue Cheese Lasagne is a great vegetarian alternative to the traditional 'Al Forno' meat sauce and even an alternative to the usual veggie lasagne recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 180 grams pack spinach leaves
- 2 cloves garlic
- 250 grams chestnut mushrooms
- 400 grams can chopped tomatoes
- 300 grams lasagne sheets
- 600 millilitres milk
- 3 tablespoon cornflour
- 100 grams Castello Danish Blue Extra Creamy
- 100 grams mature cheddar
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Heat 1 tbsp of olive in a large pan, add half the garlic and spinach leaves and stir fry for 1-2 minutes until the leaves have wilted. Remove from the heat, season well and set aside.
- Add the remaining oil to the pan, add the mushrooms and cook over a high heat for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms are browned. Stir in the remaining garlic. Mix in the tin of tomatoes and heat for a few minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste.
- Make the white sauce, take two tablespoons of the milk and mix to a paste with the cornflour. Heat the rest of the milk until just below boiling point and add to the cornflour mix, then heat stirring all the time until thick and glossy, cook for 5 minutes to cook out the starch. Season well.
- Place a layer of lasagne in the base of your dish. Top with half the spinach, then half the mushroom mix, then add another layer of lasagne. Spoon over a third of the white sauce and sprinkle over half the blue cheese.
- 5. Repeat the layers. Place a final layer of lasagne on top and spread over the remaining white sauce and top with the cheddar cheese.
- 6. Place on a baking tray and bake for 40 minutes or until the lasagne is tender and top golden. Serve with a green salad.
