About this blog

  • Farm girl by birth, city girl by marriage… The only constant in my life has always been good, wholesome food, wine and company! Although I chose a variety of career paths in my life, I studied food and wine for six years before embarking on a detour that finally led me back to the kitchen, where I feel so at home! This blog exists to invite you into my kitchen, with all its fragrances, warmth and laughter! Please come inside…

Lasagne Aperto (Open Lasagne)

Img_1972Serves 2
Suggested wine as accompaniment - Michael's Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc

Ingredients
Fresh spinach
7 sheets of lasagne
Grapeseed oil
A can of whole Italian tomatoes (from Woolworths)
2 packets ready-made cheese sauce (also from Woolworths)
A packet of Parma ham
Feta cheese
Freshly grated nutmeg
2t sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
A sprig of rosemary to serve

Method
1.  Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
2.  Steam the spinach for 15 minutes.
3.  In a pot filled with boiling salted water, cook the sheets of lasagne for about 7 minutes (they must still be al dente), being careful that they don't stick to one another.
4.  Oil them on both sides lightly.
5.  Place one sheet on the plate.  Top with spinach, nutmeg and cheese sauce, with a dash of salt.
6.  Then top that with another sheet.  Now add the Parma ham and crumble a wheel of feta over that.
7.  Top with another sheet, the canned tomatoes, roughly chopped, and sprinkle with sugar.
8.  Add some cheese sauce and more feta, and tear the last sheet into strips to top your creation with.
9.  Sprinkle with more feta and bake for about 15 - 20 minutes.
10. Grill for a few minutes until brown on top.  (The edges of the pasta go brown and crispy - yum!)
