"This recipe was the result of a package of spinach with chunks of Gorgonzola in it. I used spinach lasagna noodles, which made for a really cool visual effect, hence the name. Enjoy!"

ingredients

For the sauce
500 g tomato puree
8 tablespoons tomato paste
1 (400 g) can tomatoes, chunks
1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons dried oregano
³⁄₄ tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon sugar
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, chopped
For the filling
250 g blue cheese, preferably Gorgonzola or Danish Blue
250 g ricotta cheese
2 eggs
300 g frozen spinach
1 bunch broccoli, and stem washed, trimmed, and chopped into small bite-size pieces
For the lasagna
12 no-boil lasagna noodles, spinach
1 cup mozzarella cheese

directions

Put first 9 ingredients in a medium pot over medium-low heat. While this mixture warms through, saute the onions in 2 tablespoons olive oil until clear. Add to sauce mixture. Cover and allow to simmer while you prepare the filling.
Steam the already-chopped broccoli for 5 minutes, or until softened (does not need to be cooked through).
Thaw the spinach. Add to large mixing bowl with the two cheeses, eggs, and steamed broccoli. Mix thoroughly.
Cover the bottom of a lasagna pan with a thin layer of sauce, then a layer of noodles. Spoon 1/3 of the filling mixture over the noodles and spread evenly. Lay more noodles over the filling, and cover with sauce. Repeat 2 more times, covering the top noodles with sauce and then with mozzarella.
Bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees. You will most likely have sauce left over.

I'm a New Englander doing my Masters in Landscape Architecture in Germany. I miss fish & chips, chowder, burritos & buffalo wings, and have decided that I'm going to bring these tastes to my new home here. My recipes reflect the fact that I travel a lot and often have to deal with substitutions. This has made me a *much* better cook in the long run. I'm happy to say that, after 18 months, I have finally started to translate my mom's recipes into ml and Celsius. :)
