Spinach Mueller’s Lasagna Recipe

The ultimate Spinach Mueller’s lasagna recipe! This vegetarian lasagna has a special impossibly creamy white sauce that’s blanketed throughout the casserole. Here you’ll find also melty mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, and parmesan cheese.

It’s also good for people who aren’t experienced with tofu. With that said, It’s a nice dish to be introduced to tofu.

This vegetarian Mueller’s lasagna recipe is not your usual recipe with all the tomato sauce and meat sauce like the classic San Giorgio Lasagna recipe. This recipe has a special white sauce, named “Béchamel” which originated in French. Easy and quick to make and is so delicious in all dishes from lasagna to mac and cheese.

This creamy white sauce adds richness to pasta, meat, and vegetable dishes that need an extra touch. It’s a sauce traditionally made from a basic white roux ( butter and flour in a 1:1 mixture by weight) and milk. Béchamel sauce is one of the “mother sauces” of french cuisine.

Ingredients You’ll Need for the Mueller’s Lasagna Recipe

This recipe includes a special French white sauce and a delicious ricotta mixture with tofu and all the melty cheeses.

• Onion – I recommend using fresh onion and no onion powder
• Garlic – Same with the Garlic. Fresh garlic is the best in this recipe.
• Ricotta Cheese –
• Firm Tofu – Shredded the Tofu yourself.
• Parmesan Cheese – Don’t buy pre-grated parmesan cheese, do your own shredded cheese. Pre-shredded cheese contains preservatives and they are meant to keep the shreds from sticking together.
• Fresh Spinach – So important to have fresh spinach. Gives a nice specific spinach taste, that you’ll not go to find in canned spinaches or frozen spinach.
• Egg Whites
• Black Pepper to taste
• Salt to taste
• Fresh Parsley – you can substitute with dry parsley
• Mueller’s Lasagna Noodles
• Mozzarella Cheese – Same recommendation as for the parmesan cheese

White Sauce “Béchamel”

• Butter
• All-Purpose Flour
• Salt to taste
• Ground Black Pepper
• Slim Milk
• Mozzarella Cheese

How to assemble the lasagna

2. Spread ½ cup of white sauce.
3. Arrange a layer of cooked noodles on top of the white sauce.
4. Top with ⅓ each of the ricotta mixture, ⅓ the mozzarella, and white sauce.

6. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 10 to 15 more minutes.

Maybe you are asking why you should change the classic tomato sauce with the white sauce. Honestly, you can use tomato sauce in any type of lasagna. Even in this vegetarian mueller’s lasagna recipe. But if you want to try something different, something more creamy this is the winner.

Also you can costumise your lasagna for yourself. Some people add mushrooms, eggplants, different vegetables. There are so many possibility.

How to Store Lasagna

You have to make sure, that the lasagna is cooled down totally before you place it in the fridge. Wrap the entire lasagna with the pan included in plastic wrap. If you have leftovers place them in an airtight container. This will help to keep air from reaching the lasagna.

It can be stored for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. Also, the cooked lasagna can be frozen for up to 3 months.
