Method

Spinach and Mushroom Lasagna is a community recipe submitted by Markella and has not been tested by Nigella.com so we are not able to answer questions regarding this recipe.

  • Pre-heat oven to 200C
  • If not using the non-cook Lasagne, boil your Lasagne sheets and drain.
  • Chop the mushrooms and pour the lemon juice over. Put the oil into a pan and saute the onion and garlic for about 5 mins. Add the mushrooms and cook for about 5 mins, before adding the spinach. Cook just until the spinach is wilted.
  • Add coriander and chilli, S&P and adjust flavouring to your taste. Remember that the milk / cream mixture is going to subdue any sharp flavouring.
  • Mix cream and milk and heat over low heat. Stir in cornflour mixed with a little bit of milk. Stir until a bit thickened, but still easily pouring consistency.
  • Layer - lasagna, spinach mushroom mix, sprinkled pine nuts, cream and milk mix. Repeat the layer, ending off with a layer of lasagne, topped with cream and milk mix.
  • Sprinkle grated cheese on top and bake for about 40 mins until golden brown.

    What 1 Other has said

    • The is AWFUL! Dry and flavorless. Too much spinach. Who makes a lasagna without ricotta? My husband called this my "dirt casserole" and yes, that's what it tastes like. SKIP IT
