Spinach Lasagna

Spinach lasagna is a hearty, family–friendly dish layered with creamy sauce, tender pasta, and a rich spinach filling. It’s an easy recipe that turns simple ingredients into a comforting dinner without being complicated.

Ingredients

12 lasagna noodles (cooked and cooled in a bowl of water)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup chopped onion (optional)

1 1/2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules or powder

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (plus extra for topping)

1 cup whole milk

1 cup half-and-half or light cream

1/2 cup sour cream

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained

Preparation

In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in flour, bouillon, and pepper. Slowly whisk in milk and half-and-half. Cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.

In a skillet, melt the remaining butter and sauté the onion until soft, about 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, mix spinach, sautéed onion, sour cream, mozzarella, and the egg.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×12-inch baking dish.

Spread a little sauce on the bottom. Layer noodles, then one-third of the spinach mixture, more sauce, and a sprinkle of mozzarella. Repeat layers two more times.

Finish with noodles, the remaining sauce, and Parmesan on top.

Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until golden and bubbly. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
