Spinach Pesto Lasagna

[Admin]

I'm a big meat eater but also a big fan of stuff with spinach & cheese. Here's a recipe I fasioned up many years ago which I love. I made it tonight and thought I'd share it with ya'll.

You will need:


Ricotta cheese
Cottage Cheese
Italian blend or Mozzerrella
Frozen spinach
Lasagna noodles
Pesto sauce. I prefer Classico jar sauce but have made it with dry mix as well. I need to learn how to make home made Pesto.
(I didn't list amounts of each cause I do this to taste and quantities will differ for different size pies.

1. Make sure you have a good dog asleep at your feet cause otherwise it don't come out as good.


2. Put a layer of cooked noodles on the bottom of the baking dish and scoop in a 50/50 mix of Ricotta & Cottage cheese.
For a creamier lasagna use more cottage than ricotta.



Then add gobbs of partially cooked spinach, sprinkle on a nice layer of shredded cheese and several spoonfuls of Pesto sauce and spread it all around.


Add another layer of noodles and repeat all steps until to fill the dish.


Top it off with a nice layer of shredded cheese. Here I'm using an Italian blend.


Bake at 350 or so until golden brown. Here I'm stuffing it in a Coleman tin box oven that can be used on top of a propane camp burner or any woodstove.


Cooked to perfection in 30 minutes with no gas or electricity ;D


Goes good with beer Enjoy

Seeing your little Coleman oven has put me on a web search. I can remember back in the day most hardware/outdoor stores offered these little Jewels, at a reasonable price. I am hard pressed to find one. The closes we have come is a collapsible import from www.Lehman's.com which is by the way a great resource tool for those of us seeking self reliance. I am wondering, can you point a fellow in the right direction?
