Thaw 450 g frozen spinach and press out all the liquid well. Finely chop 1 onion and 2 cloves of garlic.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan and gently sauté the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes. Add the spinach and fry for 2 minutes. Season with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp pepper. Remove from the heat.
Béchamel sauce
Melt 40 g butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 40 g plain flour and let it cook for 1 minute.
Add 5 dl milk a little at a time, whisking constantly. Cook the sauce through for 3-4 minutes until it thickens.
Season with 0.5 tsp grated nutmeg, 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp pepper.
Layering
Grease an ovenproof dish that fits in your air fryer. Spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce over the bottom.
Place 3 lasagne sheets on top. Spread over half the spinach and a third of the béchamel sauce. Sprinkle with a little mozzarella.
Repeat with 3 lasagne sheets, the rest of the spinach and another third of the sauce.
Finish with the last 3 lasagne sheets, the remaining béchamel sauce and sprinkle with 150 g mozzarella and 50 g parmesan.
Cooking in the air fryer
Preheat the air fryer to 180 °C.
Place the dish in the air fryer and cover loosely with a piece of air fryer paper or foil for the first 15 minutes so the cheese doesn't get too dark.
Bake for 20 minutes. Then remove the paper and bake for a further 5-8 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbling. (Check a couple of times along the way.)
Let the lasagne rest for 5-10 minutes before serving so it can set.
Notes
Tips for the perfect result:
Press all the moisture out of the spinach – otherwise the lasagne turns watery. Use a dish that fits in your air fryer so the air can circulate around it.Variation:
Add a layer of ricotta or cottage cheese mixed with an egg for extra creamy filling, or crumbled feta on top for a salty kick.Serving:
Serve with a fresh green salad and a piece of crusty bread.Portion size:
If your air fryer is small, you can make the lasagne in two smaller dishes and bake them one at a time.
