FRIJE

Instructions

• 1.   Preheat the oven to 180ºF/350ºC. Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water for 2 minutes less than the time indicated on the package. Drain them, place them in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, mix well, and cover.
• 2.   Peel the garlic and cut it in half. Brown it in a pan with a little olive oil. Add the spinach and sauté for 5 minutes to soften them, do it in batches if necessary. Pour the spinach over the pasta, add the torn mozzarella into small pieces and mix well.
• 3.   In a saucepan, melt the butter. Remove from heat, add the flour, and whisk quickly. Place back on low heat and cook for 2 minutes. Pour a little milk while whisking to avoid lumps, let it thicken. Repeat with the rest of the milk. Once all the milk is incorporated, let it thicken a little more. Remove from heat, season with fleur de sel, freshly ground pepper, and pour over the pasta. Mix well and pour into an oiled gratin dish. Sprinkle with grated emmental cheese. Place the slices of lard overlapping slightly and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot.
