Ingredients
- 9 lasagna sheets
- 2 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese grated
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
for the filling:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 5 oz baby spinach 1 bag
- 1 cup artichoke hearts drained and chopped (I used the marinated kind)
- salt & pepper to taste
- 3 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 egg
for the sauce:
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/3 cup prepared pesto
Instructions
- Bring large pot of water to boil. Salt the water, add 2 tablespoons of oil and cook lasagna sheets for half the time recommended on the package. Drain and place on lightly greased baking sheet and set aside.
- In the same pot, saute onions and garlic in olive oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in spinach. After 1-2 minutes, it should be wilted. Stir in chopped artichoke hearts, salt and pepper. Remove from pan to cutting board and chop into smaller pieces, if desired. {Optional} Spoon mixture into bowl and stir together with cream cheese, parmesan cheese, egg and more salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in flour and whisk. Cook 1 minute. Pour in milk and whisk to remove any lumps. Sauce will thicken. Add in salt, pepper, nutmeg and pesto. Remove from heat.
- To assemble, lightly grease 9x13 baking dish. Spread 1/4 cup sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Place 3 cooked noodles across the bottom. Top with half the filling, 1 cup of grated mozzarella cheese and 1/3 of the sauce. Repeat this pattern again: noodles, filling, cheese, sauce. Top with remaining three noodles, remaining sauce and remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella and parmesan cheeses.
- Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 30-45 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Remove foil and broil 2-3 minutes or until cheese has browned. Remove from oven. Let lasagna rest 10-15 minutes before serving.
