Instruction:

Defrost the spinach slightly and simmer for about 5 minutes. You can simply defrost and drain the water from it. Melt butter in a ladle, add flour and lightly fry for 1 minute. Pour the milk in a thin stream and at the same time constantly beat with a whisk so that there are no lumps.
Add nutmeg, salt and a little pepper, cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 5-7 minutes. The sauce should thicken. Mix the ricotta with spinach, add a little salt. Pour boiling water over the lasagna sheets. Let them stand for 2-3 minutes (as it was said on the package).
Grease the baking dish with butter and put 6 sheets of lasagna on the bottom. I planned the number of sheets in advance – exactly 18. You may have other sheets, estimate in advance how much you will need for your form.
Grease with sauce and put half of the spinach and ricotta filling on top. Then again the sauce sheets (filling sheets) the topmost layer is the lasagna sheets!
Grate the parmesan on a grater, grease the top layer of the sheets with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with parmesan. Bake for 30 minutes at 7.0 oz until an appetizing brown crust appears.
Such an even piece is obtained when the lasagna cools down completely. We recommend eating it hot – it’s incredibly delicious!
