How To Make Spinach And Asparagus Lasagne

Spinach and Asparagus Lasagne Recipe. A tasty vegetarian alternative to the traditional recipe. This mouth-watering pasta dish is easy to make and perfect for the weekend, served with a fresh green salad. Appreciate our Spinach and Asparagus Lasagne recipe.

You Will Need

  • 200 g pasta sheets , (ready to cook)
  • 3 asparagus , (cut into 3 equal parts - keeping the bottom third separate)
  • 3 shallots , chopped
  • 1 ltr double cream
  • 250 g baby spinach , washed
  • 1 knob of butter
  • 270 g emmental cheese , grated
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 baking tray
  • 1 colander
  • 1 knife
  • 2 large bowls
  • 1 medium pot
  • 1 large pot
  • 1 sieve
  • 1 ladle

Step 1:

Make the asparagus sauce

Place the medium pot on a high heat and add the vegetable oil and the shallots. Add the bottom third of the asparagus and allow them to sweat. Once they do, add the cream, season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Now turn down and allow to reduce.

Step 2:

Cook the asparagus

Half fill the large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the top and middle sections of the asparagus and cook for 3 or 4 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately transfer to a bowl to run cold water over them. Transfer back into the colander and allow them to drain.

Step 3:

Sieve the sauce

Place the sieve over a large bowl and pour through the asparagus sauce. Keep the contents of the bowl and discard any residue that may have collected in the sieve.

Step 4:

Preheat the oven

Set the temperature of the oven to 200ºC (400ºF/ gas mark 6).

Step 5:

Layer the lasagne

Using a knob of butter, lightly grease the inside of the baking tray. Layer the tray with pasta sheets (breaking in half if required), spinach, asparagus (tips and mid-sections) and the sauce. Repeat the process and sprinkle grated cheese over the top.

Step 6:

Bake the lasagne

Place the lasagne into the oven and cook for around 30 minutes, or until the cheese turns golden.

Step 7:

Remove from the oven

After 30 minutes, remove the lasagne from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 8:

Serve and enjoy

Cut yourself a generous slice and place on a serving plate. Add some fresh green salad and a slice or two of crusty garlic bread and enjoy your vegetarian meal.

    i made it and i do advise to use more sauce before the cheese, just a thin layer though! came out perrrfectly!:D

    the top layer of pasta did not turn out right, it was dried out!

    i made this yesterday, the sauce was nice but the top of the pasta was very hard and had dried out, despite the cheese topping. So despite the directions should I have added another layer of the sauce before the cheese. I have never made Lasagna before.
