Homemade Spinach Lasagna with Beshamel

Homemade Spinach Lasagna with Beshamel video recipe

When I hear someone say they love lasagna I usually cringe. To me, lasagna is a dish somewhat boring and does not make me very excited. However, many many years ago a friend who taught me how to cook gave me his recipe. Frank and his family owned one of the most unique restaurants I’ve ever dined. There were only 8-choices on the menu. While that is not so unusual the fact that you had to order your main entree over the phone, ring a door bell to get in was certainly different. No reservation no entry into the restaurant. Frank taught me how to cook and for that I am forever grateful but even more grateful for the numerous recipes he has shared with me.

This is the by far the best lasagna dish I have ever had in my life. This is not opening a can of sauce, boiling some noodles, shredding some cheese then baking and calling it lasagna. No no no, this is a dish prepared from the heart. All ingredients are fresh and everything is homemade. This is what defines a food lover. It’s very time consuming but so worth the effort. Try it and you shall see.
