SPINACH-ARTICHOKE LASAGNA



Spinach-Artichoke Lasagna image

Inspired by the artichoke slice at Artichoke Basille's Pizza in New York City, this white sauce lasagna is a dreamy multilayered dinner. Frizzling chopped canned artichoke hearts in olive oil reduces their water content, thereby concentrating their earthy, buttery flavor. What binds the dish together is a nutmeg-rich béchamel sauce that makes everything taste comforting and familiar. Cottage cheese in place of the more traditional ricotta nixes any potential for the grainy dryness that plagues so many lasagnas. Layering this creamy, saucy wonder in an 8-inch square pan leaves you with the perfect amount of leftovers for when you want some as a snack - a snacking lasagna, if you will.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup olive oil
1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, coarsely chopped and well drained
1 (5-ounce) package baby spinach
Salt and black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups half-and-half (or 2 cups each whole milk and heavy cream)
Freshly grated nutmeg
12 dry lasagna noodles (10 to 12 ounces)
8 ounces cottage cheese (heaping 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan (2 ounces)
1 large egg
1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese (4 ounces)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Boil a kettle of water (an electric kettle works great here).
  • Meanwhile, heat a medium saucepan over medium-high. Add the olive oil and artichoke hearts and cook, stirring occasionally, until the artichoke hearts fall apart, become jammy and start to brown at the edges, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the spinach, season with salt and pepper, and stir until considerably wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and return the saucepan to the stove (no need to wash it out).
  • Make the béchamel sauce: In the saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking constantly until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Still whisking constantly, slowly add the half-and-half. Raise the heat to high and bring to a simmer, whisking all the while, then immediately reduce the heat to continue simmering, now whisking occasionally, until the sauce thickens to the consistency of gravy, 10 to 20 minutes. Season generously with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
  • Add half of the béchamel to the bowl with the artichokes. Stir to combine and cool slightly, for about 15 minutes. While the mixture cools, place the lasagna noodles in a large high-sided pan or dish, pour over the recently boiled water from the kettle and let soak until the noodles are softened but not soggy, about 15 minutes. Add the cottage cheese, Parmesan and egg to the artichoke mixture, season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
  • Assemble the lasagna: In an 8-inch square baking pan or dish, add enough béchamel to thinly coat the bottom. Put down a single layer of lasagna noodles, about 3 noodles, letting the ends rise up the edges of the pan. Spread half of the artichoke mixture evenly over the noodles. Turn the pan 90 degrees and put down another layer of lasagna noodles, again pressing the ends up against the edges of the pan. Spread half of the béchamel evenly over the noodles. Repeat these layers once more with the remaining lasagna noodles, artichoke mixture and béchamel, ending with the béchamel. Evenly sprinkle the mozzarella on top. (At this point, you can cover the lasagna and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours if not baking right away.)
  • Bake the lasagna until the sauce is bubbling at the edges (especially in the corners of the pan), and the mozzarella and the exposed ends of the noodles are golden brown and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. (Add more time if baking directly from the refrigerator.) Let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing so that slices won't collapse when transferred to plates.

ROASTED FENNEL AND ARTICHOKE HEARTS



Roasted Fennel and Artichoke Hearts image

Canned artichokes add subtlety and flavor to this meal. We like the Whole Foods 365 brand because the artichokes don't come out too salty when roasted.

LASAGNA WITH BASIL AND FENNEL



Lasagna With Basil and Fennel image

I've never been a big lasagna fan, but this particular version has such interesting, wonderful flavors to it that I've been known to eat an entire pan in 3 days. I've found that the amount of sauce these proportions make to be a just barely inadequate -- once or twice, I didn't have enough at the end, so my top layer of noodles was a little dry. you can remedy this by being really careful about how much sauce you use for layering, erring on the skimpy side, or you can do it my way and double the sauce recipe :) the leftover sauce is soo delicious on pasta, pizza, etc. I also like to add a few cloves of garlic to the sauce since I'm a garlic fiend.

Artichoke and fennel lasagna is a delicious and nutritious dish that is perfect for vegetarian or vegan diets. Fennel and artichoke are both highly nutritious vegetables that offer a wide variety of health benefits. This dish is also very easy to prepare and can be served as a main course or as a side dish.

Choosing the Right Ingredients

When making artichoke and fennel lasagna, it is important to choose the freshest and highest quality ingredients possible. This will ensure that the dish is both flavorful and nutritious. Look for fresh, organic artichokes and fennel at your local farmers market or natural food store. Also, choose a high-quality pasta that is free from artificial additives and preservatives.
Preparing the Artichokes
To prepare the artichokes, first remove the tough outer leaves and trim the stem. Cut off the top of the artichoke and trim the remaining leaves at the base to expose the heart. Slice the artichokes into thin, even pieces, and sauté or roast them until they are tender.
Preparing the Fennel
To prepare the fennel, slice off the stalks and feathery leaves, and cut the bulb into thin, even pieces. Sauté or roast the fennel until it is tender and lightly browned.

Choosing the Right Sauce

When making artichoke and fennel lasagna, the sauce is an important element that can greatly affect the flavor and texture of the dish. Be sure to choose a sauce that complements the flavors of the artichokes and fennel. A creamy béchamel sauce can be a great choice, as it provides a rich, velvety texture that pairs well with the subtle flavors of the vegetables.
Adding Flavors and Spices
To enhance the flavors of your artichoke and fennel lasagna, consider adding spices and other flavorful ingredients. For example, you might add a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg to the béchamel sauce, or top the lasagna with a mixture of grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.

Layering the Lasagna

When layering your lasagna, it is important to use a light hand and avoid overcrowding the pan. Begin by spreading a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of the pan, and then add a layer of cooked pasta. Add a layer of sautéed or roasted artichokes, followed by a layer of sliced fennel. Repeat these layers until you have used up all of your ingredients, ending with a layer of sauce and a sprinkle of grated cheese or breadcrumbs.
Baking the Lasagna
Bake the lasagna in a preheated oven until the sauce is bubbly and the top is golden brown. Allow the lasagna to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Serving Suggestions

Artichoke and fennel lasagna is a versatile dish that can be served in a variety of ways. For a complete meal, serve the lasagna with a salad and a crusty loaf of bread. Alternatively, you can serve it as a side dish alongside grilled chicken or fish.
Storing and Reheating
Leftover artichoke and fennel lasagna can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply place the lasagna in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.

Conclusion

Artichoke and fennel lasagna is a delicious and nutritious dish that is perfect for any occasion. By choosing the freshest ingredients, selecting the right sauce, and adding spices and other flavorful ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying. Whether served as a main course or as a side dish, artichoke and fennel lasagna is sure to become a favorite in your household.
