Ingredients:
- salt to taste
- filling
- 1 ( more) 10 oz package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry (optional see tips from deedeec)
Directions:
- Spray the bottom of 9x13-in baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Basil-cream sauce: in a 2 qt. saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in flour until absorbed. Add the milk; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and has thickened. Remove from heat; stir in the basil, 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, the garlic and salt. Place plastic wrap on the surface of sauce and set aside. (if you don’t it turns brown)
- Filling: over low heat, cook the pine nuts in a dry, small skillet until all the nuts are at least partially browned. Chop. (I don’t brown mine, I just put them in the food processor)
- Place pine nuts in a large bowl. Add the spinach, ricotta, 1/2 cup of the mozzarella, the fontina, 3/4 cup parmesan, the egg, and pepper. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Cook the noodles according to package and drain.
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Thinly spread 1 cup of the basil-cream sauce in the bottom of baking pan. Place a layer of noodles over the sauce. Use 4 noodles per layer.
- Spread 1/2 of the ricotta filling over the noodles. Spread 1/2 of the remaining basil-cream sauce over the cheese.
- Top with more noodles and spread with remaining ricotta filling.
- Top with remaining noodles and spread remaining sauce over noodles.
- Bake 30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella; continue baking 20 more minutes. Remove and let stand about 15 mins.
- Tip from DeeDeeC: I actually like to use a little more spinach (one more package.) I like to have a layer of spinach (not mixed into the cheese filling) just under the 2nd and 3rd layers of noodles. OR Sometimes I use very thinly sliced zucchini.
