Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb lasagna noodle
  • 1/2 lb fresh spinach (not frozen)
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 6 sweet red peppers
  • 2 large white onions
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed or finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • fresh black pepper
  • 1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 (4 ounce) cans sugar-free tomato puree
  • Topping
  • 1 cup low-fat American cheese, grated
  • 1 cup sour cream

Directions

  1. 1
    Chop the onion and peppers into small pieces.
  2. 2
    Fry lightly in the olive oil for a few minutes and add some black pepper.
  3. 3
    Add the garlic.
  4. 4
    Mix well and add the canned tomatoes.
  5. 5
    Heat until a few bubbles appear and slowly add the puree, then all the parsley except a little for decoration.
  6. 6
    Set aside.
  7. 7
    Make sure the spinach is totally clean.
  8. 8
    (Put it in a drainer and cover with salt, then wash really well.) Steam in a stainless steel drainer over a pot of boiling water for no more than 3 minutes.
  9. 9
    While it is cooking, set the oven to 300 degrees F.
  10. 10
    Drain the spinach and put in a pan.
  11. 11
    Mix with the sour cream and plenty of black pepper (a small hand blender is ideal for this).
  12. 12
    It should be smooth and creamy and a lovely color.
  13. 13
    Pour about 2 inches of the red sauce into a baking dish, smooth with a wooden spoon and cover with a layer of lasagne.
  14. 14
    Top with a layer of the spinach mix.
  15. 15
    Smooth it out and add another layer of pasta.
  16. 16
    Keep doing this- alternating red and green- until no more sauce is left.
  17. 17
    The last layer of pasta must have a little sauce on it to keep it moist.
  18. 18
    Cover with the cheese.
  19. 19
    Bake, uncovered, for about 1 1/2 hours.
  20. 20
    When the lasagne is done it needs to sit about 3 minutes before being sprinkled with parsley and served with a fresh green salad and a glass of dry red wine.
