  • nutmeg

  • 200 g Cream cheese
  • 150 g crème fraîche

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Clean, rinse the spinach, set aside a few leaves for garnish and blanch the rest in salted boiling water. Cool, drain, and roughly chop.

  2. 2.

    Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Soak lasagna sheets in plenty of cold water for 10 minutes (add one sheet at a time to prevent sticking). Melt butter over medium heat in a pan, sauté onion and garlic, add spinach, remove from heat, season with salt, nutmeg, and pepper.

  3. 3.

    For the cheese sauce, melt cream cheese with crème fraîche in a saucepan, seasoning with salt and pepper.

    Layer lasagna sheets, cheese sauce, and spinach alternately in a baking dish. Finish with a layer of cheese sauce. Grate Emmental and sprinkle on top.

  5. 5.

    Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (fan‑forced 160 °C; gas: level 2–3) for about 35–40 minutes until golden brown. Garnish with the remaining spinach leaves and serve the spinach lasagna.
