The TM7 grates, kneads, mixes and simmers every component, delivering deep restaurant-style flavour with minimal effort.
About this recipe
Lasagne Bolognese with fresh spinach pasta Thermomix TM7 recipes bring real Italian tradition into your kitchen without the usual effort. This recipe shows exactly why the all-in-one kitchen machine earns its place: the TM7 grates Parmesan in seconds, kneads a vibrant green spinach pasta dough until silky, and mixes the pork and beef ragù while it simmers slowly, developing the deep, slow-cooked flavour the TM7 sudderen function is known for. The béchamel, made with unsalted butter and flour, turns out lump-free and creamy thanks to constant controlled stirring. Fresh baby spinach in the pasta not only gives beautiful colour but also a gentle earthy note against the rich meat sauce. Perfect as a festive weekend main course or a comforting family dinner, this homemade lasagne delivers restaurant quality from a single bowl, with far less washing up than the traditional method.
Preparation tips
- Rest the spinach pasta dough wrapped in cling film before rolling, as this relaxes the gluten and makes the green sheets easier to roll thin without tearing when you assemble the lasagne.
- Assemble the lasagne with a thin layer of Bolognese on the base first so the spinach pasta sheets do not stick; alternate ragù, béchamel and grated Parmesan evenly for balanced flavour in every portion.
- For a milder family version, replace half the beef mince with extra pork mince and let children help layer the pasta sheets; the dish also freezes well once assembled before baking.
Recipe variations
- Vegetarian version: swap the pork and beef mince for a mixture of lentils and finely chopped mushrooms, keep the spinach pasta and Parmesan, and simmer the ragù with the same herbs for a hearty meat-free lasagne.
- Festive winter version: add cubes of roasted pumpkin between the spinach pasta layers and finish with extra grated Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil before baking for a colourful seasonal centrepiece.
