FRIJE

Instructions

• 1.   Place the chopped spinach in a colander and let it thaw. When the spinach is thawed, preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F). Drain the thawed spinach and cut the goat cheese into slices.
• 2.   Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat. When the skillet is hot, add the drained spinach and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Lightly season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir well. Pour in the heavy cream and the goat cheese slices, then continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes, stirring well, until the goat cheese is melted. After 5 minutes, remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
• 3.   Melt the butter in a saucepan over high heat. When the butter is melted, add the flour to the saucepan and mix well until you have a roux. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly, and cook until you have a smooth and homogeneous béchamel sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside.
• 4.   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and add the lasagna sheets to the boiling water. Cook them according to the package instructions or until they are al dente. When the lasagna sheets are cooked, drain them on paper towels.
• 5.   Pour a thin layer of béchamel sauce into the bottom of a rectangular baking dish. Place 3 drained lasagna sheets on the bottom of the dish. Cover with 1/3 of the spinach mixture and 1/3 of the béchamel sauce. Place another 3 drained lasagna sheets on top, followed by 1/3 of the spinach mixture and 1/3 of the béchamel sauce. Repeat this process one more time and finish with a final layer of lasagna sheets and a thin layer of béchamel sauce. Sprinkle the lasagna with grated cheese (gruyère or parmesan), then season with salt and pepper to taste.
• 6.   Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until the cheese on top is golden brown. Serve these spinach and goat cheese lasagna immediately after removing from the oven.
