White bean, spinach and goat cheese lasagna
Hey hey hey 😀 How are you? Hope you’re having a glorious afternoon/night.
I was so thankful that a work friend could cover the morning part of my shift today- I busted out my productivity pants!
I ran errands
wrote two blog posts
took care of finances/bills/blah
curled my hair
and made a new recipe before going to work 🙂 This day is winner.
That ,my friends, is White bean, Spinach and Goat cheese lasagna before its trip to the oven. [gluten-free, vegetarian and easily vegan-able]
Some ingredients:
+ 2 servings of soft goat cheese
-3/4 C shredded goat gouda (Vegan? Use Daiya instead of both goat cheeses)
-half a container of organic spinach
-juice of half a lemon
-cayenne, sea salt, pepper, garlic
1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 and boil 8 lasagna noodles so that they’re slightly undercooked. Pat dry.
2. In a pan on medium heat, sauté the chopped shallot and 2 cloves of minced garlic in olive oil and a little butter until soft.
Wilt in the spinach, add the beans (drained and rinsed) and season well with sea salt, pepper, the lemon juice and a pinch of cayenne.
3. Next, layer the lasagna!
Sauce on the bottom, covered by 3 noodles:
Then 1 serving of crumbled goat cheese, 1/2 of the bean mixture:
2 noodles, sauce and shredded goat cheese:
Top with the other half of bean mixture, crumbled goat cheese, 3 noodles, sauce and shredded goat cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes covered in foil, 15 minutes uncovered.
Feast 🙂
I’m so excited to have that waiting for me when I get home from Zumba tonight 🙂
Off to shake it 😉

Mmm, looks great! Lasagna is such a comforting meal with all that cheese and those noodles!
My productivity pants are my comfy jeans! I can’t get comfy if they are too tight, hehe 🙂
I want that lasagna!
That lasagna looks so so good! I’m loving it.
holla for being productive.. AND giving us a great recipe!
I made lasagna tonight too! I was pretty productive today at work, then did kettlebell workout, errands, picked up kids, etc.
This looks amazing! I have never thought to add beans to lasagna before! So smart. And your hair looks so good curly! I have major hair envy, I have maybe a quarter the thickness that you do!
Yay productivity pants!! It always feels good to get things done. 😀 And that lasagna looks great. C. an’t wait to hear how it comes out.
Yum! This recipe is book marked. I have yet to have goat gouda….is it mild???
xxoo
yep.. my fave 🙂
I’ve never thought of putting beans in lasagne! Beans are a miracle food. I’m always surprised by how many different ways they can be used.
Holy moly! That lasagna looks delish! I’ve only ever had the basic (tomato, meat, mozz cheese) kind! I never even thought of mixing it up! Love.
Today musta been the day for Productivity! I just got back from my honeymoon on Sunday (wahhh) and finally kicked myself into gear and got SO much done today! It feels great. Now for wine. 🙂
Ooo that looks delish!
my productivity pants were in the wash today haha better put them on soon so i get a few things done this weekend
Close! Black Target 😉 I totally ninja-kicked my list! I worked out, cleaned the bathroom from top to bottom, including scrubbing the floor! Swept and scrubbed the kitchen floor, did two loads of laundry…all before work! Then I worked all day and came home, did more laundry, and now I’m enjoying a glass of wine 🙂
I need to borrow your productivity pants! I was just lamenting that I didn’t do a very good job of getting my act together tonight. That lasagna looks delicious. I’m adding it to my “to-try” list.
Your hair looks great!
And so does that lasagna. White beans and spinach, mmm good!
What did I cross off my list, wrote 3 blog posts (one was a giveaway), groc shopped, took care of 4 year old, worked out, cooked, cleaned, laundry, and I still have a 7 hour work day ahead of me 🙂
Ooooh that lasagna looks really good!! I am really becoming obsessed with your blog! I think you are great 🙂
thank you! 🙂
Mine are totally spandex. No question.
That lasagna looks delish! I would leave out the beans though bc I’m not a fan, personally..
That lasagna looks AMAZING!!! I was pretty productive today, too! Did some food shopping and then baked for my mom’s book club!
My lululemon pants were grey today.. 🙂
I finally got a new blender today. My old one would not even blend banana anymore. so sad. For me, the new blender is very productive…. green smoothies!!
THAT lasagne looks AMAZING. I can’t wait to make it! Thanks for posting.
PS: My best friend is 10 weeks pregnant and we are both reading your family posts religiously. Loved the fashion post today especially. You look fantastic momma!
I’m wearing my black lululemon ninja pants right now! I was productive at work, but personally not too productive today besides working out and writing a blog post!
I did two blog posts (one for tonight, one for tomorrow), meal planning, a grocery list and your Summer Shape Up and now some blog reading 🙂
That lasagna looks yummy!
Your hair looks great, I wish I could get mine to do that! My productivity today included working 8 hours, 3 blog posts, doing some banking, a haircut, and running errands! I am very new to blogging but I love it! Your blog was one of my inspirations to start,
I think “productivity pants” may be my new favourite saying! Lately I’ve been all about “pulling up your big girl pants and just doing it.” 😛
Great post!
Looks good! I have been crazy going through nagging lists of things to do lately… going to do a post about it at some point (sounds like THAT is a list-item, too).
Love the hair… jealous because my hair is stick straight and hard to curl (I use an ionic straightener).
My productivity pants are yoga leggings from VS… lululemon some day for sure though! I checked off my yearly dr’s apt, took an awesome barre sculpt class, got a job interview for Tuesday (yay!) and started working on my thesis 🙂
I’ve been thinking about making lasagna lately! This one looks delicious! (especially thanks to all that goat cheese… YUM!!)
I had a huge illustration deadline today, and it was such a relief to check that off my list! Too bad I have another big deadline tomorrow… but then it’s Friday, so it’s all good. 😉
Oh my goodness, that lasagna looks heavenly. I would be SO excited as well if I had that baby waiting for me 🙂 You really know your stuff- and you always make it look so easy!
Enjoy! 🙂
if your black lululemons are wunder unders then yes! 😉
yesterday they were groove crops 🙂
Nike tempo shorts for me.
Holy yum to that lasagna!
Way to go for being productive! Love the curlies btw : ) I need to get some goat cheese at my local farmer’s market…lasagna would taste amazing with it!
I WAS PRODUCTIVE TODAY TOO! Yay us 🙂 The lasagna looks scrumptious and your hair looks beautiful!
i made some delish mung bean dal today and added in some potatoes…oh it turned out so good. it was one of those random cooking nights too…then i also made some delish brussel sprouts with lots of garlic and white onion seasoned with s&p and some balsamic vinegar…too good. 🙂 good nite!
that sounds LOVELY
that lasagna looks amazing! but i was wondering why you love lululemon so much. how are those pants different from other yoga pants..is there a difference?
the quality is fantastic.. and they make your booty look very nice 🙂
hahaha! that sounds like something i need! 🙂
Thanks so much for the vegan how-to!! Looks yum!!
That lasagna looks amazing! And I love that you threw some beans in there for some extra protein. Can’t wait to try this!
Yesterday was such a productive day for me too! I wrote a blog post, responded to emails, picked out my courses for next semester, and made homemade linguine. And then crashed in bed with a pasta food baby. 😉
ooo how do you curl your hair like that? It looks so good!
Please share your hair curling technique/tools!!!!
i’m going to make a video one of these weekends
That looks so yummy. Hello Sunday night dinner! 😉 My fiance is a major meat lover but he also lives for goat cheese so I think he will love this 🙂 What size dish is that you’re using? Would it work if I use a 9×13 casserole dish? That dish looks smaller.
i used a loaf pan since it was just the 2 of us 🙂
Ok I’ll use a smaller dish as well 🙂 Also wanted to let you know that after reading your blog for over 2 years you’ve inspired me to start my own just for fun. You’re awesome!
yay! congrats on the new blog 🙂
My “ninja kick” pants are the holiest jeans I own. So full of holes, I have to wear leggings under them! I finally took out my king size bed frame/headboard and got it downstairs. We lowered the box spring and the mattress to the floor so my 14 year old puppy can get up on the bed – he was having a hard time making the jump. And who knows – I’m getting older, so I’m sure I’ll appreciate a lower bed too! Take care – your dinner looks fabulous – you’ll have to share the verdict! Enjoy your Friday and have a fantastic weekend. Mo
man, i wish my productivity pants were lululemon, lol! 😛 if only…when will they come to England?!?! The lasagna looks glorious…goats cheese is my new love, thanks to you for planting the seed and denting my wallet 😉 (you’re forgiven) I’ve been putting melted goats cheese on everything lately (within reason, lol!), and remember when you posted about jumping for joy when you found some of the sliced stuff in a supermarket…I was the same! Definitely a normal thing to get excited about 😉 xyx
I love that GF pasta brand!!!!! Chris does too…win win 🙂
This is RANDOM but i love that t-shirt- does it have a “seam” in the back?
Where is it from? I can’t find cute tshirts! thank you
it’s from lululemon- super comfy, i have 2
thank you! 🙂
I’m not a huge fan of goat cheese but this looks amazing! What kind of cheese would have the same consistency of that cheese?
feta would work for the crumbled cheese and any shredded cheese for the shredded gouda
Wow! That sure looks delicious! You might wanna try the Himalayan pink salt from Sustainable Sourcing (here’s their website https://secure.sustainablesourcing.com ). Plus they make it in a gluten-free (no cross contamination) facility which is even better IMHO!!
I tried this tonight- so delicious! I didn’t have shredded goat cheese, only crumbled, so I used that throughout and on top instead. I’ll definitely be making it again.
yay i’m glad you liked it 🙂
I made this tonight – SO good! I don’t normally like lasagna but this was such a yummy lightened-up version. Thanks!!
yay! glad you were a fan 🙂
