Sunday lunch: spinach and sweetcorn lasagna

Man-shaped salt and pepper shakers

Continuing the anniversary theme, here is the main course I cooked for my first Valentine's dinner with Dr B. (twelve days after we met) four years ago.

At the time I served it with a side salad and I made a tiramisu for dessert (we were thin then).

This recipe serves four.

Ingredients

  • 1 pack (1 kilo) frozen spinach, finely cut if possible
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 large tin sweetcorn
  • butter
  • salt and pepper
  • 200g grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 large pot creme fraiche or double cream
  • 1 pack (500g) lasagna sheets, preferably with spinach (green) and pre-cooked (no need to boil first)

Preparation

  1. Press garlic and fry in a little butter
  2. Add frozen spinach, lower heat, cover and cook until defrosted and hot
  3. Add drained sweetcorn and cream
  4. Simmer to heat everything up
  5. Add half the grated cheese, salt and pepper, and mix through
  6. In a baking tin, alternate layers of spinach and pre-cooked lasagna, starting and ending with spinach
  7. Top with the rest of the grated cheese
  8. Bake until cheese on top is a nice golden colour
