Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Lasagne sheets
- 500 grams Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 300 grams Fresh spinach leaves
- 60 grams Butter
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 800 milliliters Milk
- 100 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 200 grams Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lasagne sheets until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until just pink. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then remove from the heat and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes or until wilted. Set aside.
To make the white sauce, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly for 2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Cook, stirring continuously, until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Remove from heat and set aside.
To assemble the lasagne, spread a thin layer of white sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer 3 lasagne sheets over the sauce.
Spread 1/3 of the cooked spinach, 1/3 of the shrimp, and 1/4 of the mozzarella cheese over the lasagne sheets. Top with 1/4 of the white sauce.
Repeat this layering process two more times, finishing with a final layer of lasagne sheets, white sauce, and the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
Let the lasagne rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
