Serving Size: 8
Preparation Time: 1:00
Categories: Casseroles Vegetarian Main Dishes Italian Cheese
Eggs

Amount Measure Ingredient Preparation Method
1 pound fresh spinach
1 cup minced onions
3 tablespoons olive oil divided
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup pesto
2 pounds ricotta cheese, part skim milk
1 pound lasagna noodles spinach pasta
1/2 pound mozzarella cheese grated

Preheat the oven to 350°.

Clean stem the spinach. Chop it very fine. Set aside temporarily.

In a large, heavy skillet, saute the onions in 2 tablespoons of the
olive oil over low heat
until the onions are soft and clear, about 5-8 minutes. Add the salt
pepper in moderate amounts; remove the skillet from the heat. Stir
in the raw chopped spinach and stir well; transfer to a large bowl.
Add the pesto the ricotta; mix thoroughly.

Meanwhile, put up a large pot of water to boil for the lasagna
noodles. Cook the pasta until just barely tender, about 2 minutes;
they will finish cooking in the oven. Drain the lasagna noodles,
rinse under cold running water and drizzle them with the remaining 1
tablespoon of olive oil so that they do not stick together.

Spay a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Layer 1/4
of the noodles in the bottom of the dish; spread with 1/3 of the
spinach/pesto/ricotta mixture over the noodles; sprinkle 1/3 of the
grated mozzarella cheese over. Repeat with another layer of noodles,
filling and cheese; repeat a third time. Finish with a final layer of
noodles; sprinkle on the parmesan cheese. Drizzle with a bit more
olive oil, if desired. Cover with foil and bake for 35-40 minutes.

From the Oprah Winfrey show.

.75 c lukewarm water
1 tsp honey
1 tbs dry active yeast
1.5 c Semolina flour
.5 tsp salt
1 tsp olive oil
.5 c cornmeal
Light vegetable oil cooking spray

Combine the water and honey in a medium stainless steel bowl. Sprinkle the
yeast on top and set aside for 20 minutes to proof, until bubbles form on the
surface.

Put the flour, semolina, and salt into the bowl of a food processor. Turn the
machine on and slowly add the yeast mixture through the feed tube. Process for
about a minute, until the dough ball froms, drizzling a little additional water
into the feed tube if necessary. Continue the process for another 2 minutes.

Rub the surface of a large bowl with olive oil. Transfer the dough ball and
rool it into the oil to coat. Cover with a towel and set the bowl aside in a
warm place until the dough ball has doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Remove the dough to a work surface that has been dusted with the cornmeal and
roll out evenly to a thickness of .25 inch. Cut out 8 5.5 inch circles, using
a sharp knife and a saucer.

Spray a cookie sheet 3 times with the vegetable oil to coat. Put the pizza
crusts onto the sheet. Bake for 3-5 minutes, until golden. Remove the baked
crusts from the oven and add the topping variation of your choice.
