Melt the butter in a saucepan, press in the garlic cloves, and sauté until translucent. Add the creamed spinach and let it thaw. Combine the flour and milk in a glass and add to the buttered spinach. Increase the heat to high and stir with a whisk until a creamy sauce forms. Finely chop or tear the soft cheese and stir in. Season with nutmeg, sugar, salt, pepper, and chili. Finely dice the tomatoes. Chop the spinach leaves a little, if desired. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/convection oven or 200°C top/bottom heat. Pour some of the garlic béchamel into a lasagna dish to cover the bottom. Add a layer of pasta sheets on top. Continue in the following order until all ingredients are used up: garlic béchamel, then alternating spinach leaves and/or tomatoes with some grated cheese, then pasta sheets. The final layer is simply béchamel and the remaining grated cheese. Bake the lasagna in the oven for 35-40 minutes. Serve with a mixed salad.
