Viraj and Nitu have a farmhouse near about of Bangalore, they sent some fresh homegrown (literally) spinach. A regular struggle is how to make the green look like gold on the dinner table. Tried this quick recipe and it was really well received, am sure Popeye would have loved to be in the fourth seat.
Take a bunch of spinach, wash well and steam in an open pan for 5-7 minutes. Once cool, blend into a puree. Now in one and a half tbsp of warm olive oil, add 2 finely chopped onions and 6 cloves of finely chopped garlic. Once golden, add one similarly chopped tomato. To this add the puree, salt to taste and some dried oregano and a dash of pepper powder. In about 2 mins, add a large cup of grated cottage cheese. Stir for 3 mins or so. Add a dash of ketch up and your filling is done.
Now layer the spinach onto lasagna sheets( I used ready to cook Barilla) each time, spraying little milk on the sheets. Make 4 or 5 layers. On the top sprinkle some parmesan. Bake for 20 mins or so.
Enjoy!
