Steps
Cook the spinach: Wash the spinach well and let them wilt in a pan with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt. If using frozen spinach, cook them directly until they are soft and well dried. Once ready, chop them coarsely.
Prepare the bechamel: Melt the butter in a saucepan.
After melting the butter, mix until you get a golden roux.
Heat the milk and add the mixture, continuing to stir with a whisk to avoid lumps.
Cook until you achieve a smooth and thick cream. Adjust with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Take half of the bechamel and mix it with the cooked spinach and stracchino. You will get a creamy and tasty filling.
Spread the lasagna sheets on a surface and spread each one with the spinach and bechamel mixture
Add the galbanino cut into cubes and gently roll up, cut each roll into 4 equal parts.
Pour the remaining bechamel at the bottom of a baking dish and arrange the rolls vertically, with the cut side up. Sprinkle with parmesan if you want a gratin touch. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 25-30 minutes, until they are golden and creamy.
✨Filling Variations
– Alternative Cheeses: Try ricotta, mozzarella fiordilatte, or smoked provola for a different taste.
– Extra Vegetables: Add grilled zucchini, stewed leeks, or sautéed mushrooms to enrich the filling.
– Spicy Touch: A pinch of curry, sweet paprika, or black pepper can give an interesting note to the bechamel.
