By 2021-06-25

Fresh lasagne with pesto is a Lasagne recipe for 6 people, takes only 20 mins; recipe has milk, butter and plain flour.

Ingredients

  • Parmesan - 175g piece fresh parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), coarsely grated
  • Cherry Tomato - 500g cherry tomato on the vine, two or three vines left whole
  • Basil Leaf - good handful of basil leaves (or one supermarket pack)
  • Milk - 1.2l milk
  • Butter - 100g butter, cut into pieces
  • Pesto - 3 rounded tbsp good quality pesto
  • Baby Spinach - 500g baby spinach leaves
  • Mozzarella - 2 x 150g balls mozzarella, preferably buffalo, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • Nutmeg - pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
  • Plain Flour - 100g plain flour
  • Lasagne - 250g lasagne sheets - fresh is best

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Put the milk, butter and flour in a medium pan and cook over a medium heat, whisking until thickened and smooth. Simmer for 1 minute. Take off the heat, season and add the nutmeg. Cool, stirring occasionally to stop a skin forming.
  2. Put the spinach in a large heatproof bowl, pour over a kettle of boiling water and leave for 30 seconds. Drain into a colander, cool under the cold tap then squeeze it well to remove the excess liquid.
  3. Spread a spoonful or two of the sauce on the bottom of a large ovenproof dish (about 30x20cm) and lay a third of the lasagne on top. Spoon over a third of the sauce and spread it out. Swirl a spoonful of pesto through the sauce with a knife and scatter over half the spinach with a third of the tomatoes, a few basil leaves and a third of the cheeses. Season with salt and pepper. Layer another third of the lasagne with a third of the sauce, a spoonful of pesto, the rest of the spinach, a third of the tomatoes and cheeses and some basil. Season.
  4. Finish with a layer of lasagne, the last of the sauce, pesto, cheeses and the tomatoes, including those on the vine. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden. Scatter with the last of the basil leaves and serve.

If you are a chef, no matter how good a chef you are, it's not good cooking for yourself; the joy is in cooking for others - it's the same with music.
