Basic easy made Lasagna with spinach meatballs on top ( like Vincisgrassi lasagna italian style)



LASAGNA WITH SPINACH MEATBALLS


This receipe is what the main picture is on my blog page. Its a really easy receipe to make and even quicker if you have a ready made sauce like Latina Bolognase sauce in your fridge.


for 4 people make in a 17.5cm x 28cm baking dish


Ingredients


1 pack of the latina pasta sheets
grana padano cheese 1 cup grated
Latina Bolognese sauce 500g (or a brand you prefer)
Boil an egg if you want egg in yours (hard boiled then sliced up put aside)
Pre arrange in a saucepan 2 cups of milk with a shake of nutmeg and a handful of grana padano parmasan cheese (this is the cheese sauce) heat for 5 mins stirring ( a knob of butter for extra creamy)
shake of oregano
1 cup of mozzarella cheese


for your balls which will be fried in light olive oil lightly
1 egg lightly beaten
Spinach say 200g chopped up finely
1 cup of breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons of granda padano parmasan cheese


Preparations:


Cover the bottom of the baking dish with a layer of the bolognese sauce.
then put some grana padano over the layer then you put the lasagna sheet layer on the top then again the bolognese sauce, some of your cheese sauce, lasagna sheet, and sauce keep going until you get to a desired height and make the top layer sauce and top with some mozzarella and oregano.


Make the balls by combining the spinach, egg, grana and however much breadcrumbs to get nice consistency to bind them into little balls.  Heat some olive oil and deep fry these balls until golden brown. Set these balls on top of your lasagna.


Remember you can add zucchini and or egg slices to your lasagna adding them to any level you like.


Bake with a foil cover for approx 40 min on around 180 degrees celcius.


Take the foil off at the end if you like your crust brown on the pasta.


Serve with a nice bottle of Australian Red wine... :) enjoy
