Patty's Favorite Spinach Lasagna
This rich Italian dish features coconut nectar, zucchini, baby spinach, and more!
- 6-8 zucchini
- 2 cups coconut nectar
- 6 cups Patty's Rawcotta Italian Cheese (here: https://greensmoothiegirl.com/recipes/pattys-rawcotta-italian-cheese/ )
- 30 oz baby spinach
- 6 cups Patty's Favorite Italian Sauce (here: https://greensmoothiegirl.com/recipes/pattys-favorite-italian-sauce/ )
- 1/2 cup raw parmesan cheese
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 cup dehydrated, sliced tomatoes
-
One day before your dinner slice zucchini into long thin slices with mandolin, soak zucchini noodles in coconut nectar for 20-40 minutes.
-
Shake “noodles” in colander so they are not too wet, and spread on a dehydrator tray covered with a non-stick sheet. Dehydrate noodles at 110 for about 12 hours, until dry and a bit crisp.
-
About four hours before dinner get ready to assemble the lasagna.
-
Brush bottom of large lasagna dish with Patty’s Favorite Italian Sauce so noodles won’t stick.
-
Put down a thin layer of noodles, spread 3 cups rawcotta cheese on top
-
Rinse spinach and place in large colander on top of larger bowl. Pour 5 cups of boiling water over spinach through the colander so spinach becomes soft and easy to massage.
-
Put softened spinach into bowl with ¼ cup of parmesan cheese and ¼ cup of olive oil that has been blended with five cloves of garlic. Massage all ingredients into the spinach.
-
Pat layer of spinach onto the cheese layer, top with another layer of rawcotta cheese.
-
Layer with dehydrated tomatoes. Top with Patty’s Favorite Italian Sauce.
-
Sprinkle with ¼ cup parmesan cheese. Top with dehydrated portabella mushrooms.
-
Dehydrate pan of lasagna at 105 degrees for at least two hours and serve warm.
Comment from Robyn: I find this too rich, and would add layers of raw, thinly sliced CUCUMBERS in this dish, and a lot less of the Italian Cheese, which is FABULOUS, but save some of it for dip for more cucumbers later!
