Description

This salmon lasagna with creamed spinach has a rich white sauce flavored with mozzarella and ricotta cheese for a delicious salmon pasta dish.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 (9 ounce) boxes frozen creamed spinach, thawed
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 (8 ounce) package no-boil lasagna noodles
1 (15 ounce) can salmon, drained and flaked
aluminum foil

Directions

1 Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and stir until mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk the milk into the flour mixture, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese and pepper, remove from heat and set aside.
2 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3 Mix spinach, mozzarella cheese, and ricotta cheese together in a medium bowl.
4 Spread 1/4 cup of the white sauce over the bottom of a rectangular baking dish. Arrange 1/3 of the lasagna noodles overtop, overlapping to fit. Spoon 1/2 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles and top with 1/2 of the salmon. Repeat layers once more, then top with remaining noodles and remaining white sauce. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
5 Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove and discard foil. Continue baking until bubbly, another 15 minutes.
