Thing that makes my husband and me so different is pasta...I love them to die...but he is not a big fan of them. Thus I rarely cooked pasta at home. However, since he's joined the health and fitness club, got his own trainer and nutritionist to monitor what he's eating, he started to consume more pasta, especially whole wheat ones. That's yeay for me...
The other day, I prepared this beef and spinach lasagna. Got the recipe from here. I omitted some of the ingredients to match what I had in my kitchen.
I would love to submit this writing to "Presto Pasta Nights". This month is hosted by Helen. It is my very first entry for this wonderful event and I am so excited!
Ingredients:
- 1kg ground beef
- 3 cloves onions, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 plum tomato, cut into small chunks
- 160ml tomato paste
- 250ml spaghetti sauce
- 2 tsp dried basil
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- salt and pepper
- 500g ricotta cheese
- 50g parmesan cheese
- dried parsley leaves
- 2tsp dried oregano
- 2 eggs, beaten with 1/2 cup milk
- bunch of spinach
- 750g of Mozzarella cheese, grated
- 50g parmesan cheese for topping
- 20 lasagna, cooked
Directions:
Cook ground beef with some olive oil, then add onions, garlic and continue to cook until browned. Drain off all fat. Add tomato and mix well. Stir in tomato paste and spaghetti sauce, oregano, basil, salt and pepper to taste and bring it to a boil. Stir occasionally and simmer on low heat for 45minutes uncovered until thick. Preheat oven to 180C. Mix ricotta, parmesan, dried parsley, and oregano in a bowl. Add egg and milk mixture and stir well. Keep it aside. In a lasagna pan, arrange noodles layered with some meat sauce, then mozzarella cheese, more noodles, spinach and then ricotta cheese mixture. Layer by layer, again and again and end it up with a layer of noodles. Toss some meat sauce over the top layer and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake uncovered for 45minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

I could not imagine marrying someone who doesn't like pasta. I need to eat it once a week! Great dish looks quite delicious.
@Rita: tengkiu Rit..pancen wenak..
@Joanne: luckily my hubby changed and now he enjoys pasta, though not as much as I do..thank you for stopping by and leaving me a nice comment.
Salam kenal mba, saya Ratna. senangnya ketemu resep ini, kebetulan suami sungguh amat suka dengan per-pasta-an..minta ijin dicontek ya mba resepnya..mau tanya, itu bayamnya gak perlu direbus dulu ya mba? Tq
@Ratna: salam kenal jg..makasih ya dah mampir. Ini aku pake bayam bule, jadi yg dsini biasa dipake salad, yg bs dimakan mentahan..makanya ga usah direbus dulu. Ratna tinggal dmn? kalau tinggal di luar negri biasanya ada tuh bayam bule untuk salad. Atau istilahnya spinach/english spinach.
aku tinggal di jakarta mba..mungkin disini bayam bule ada di spm macam Food Hall atau Ranch Market kali yaa, diganti bayam biasa bisa gak ya mba?
@Ratna: bisa aja diganti bayam biasa, tp krn bayam biasa agak keras, mgk bs diblanching dulu ya (disiram air panas). Aromanya mgk bakalan lebih tajam, tp dicoba aja..nanti kabarin ya..
