Ingredients
About 200g Lasagne sheets
Hop Tap Water
500g Spinach, well rinsed, ribs removed and roughly chopped
2 Tbsp (30ml) Butter, cubed
1 Tbsp (15ml) Garlic & Herb seasoning
2 tubs (250g each) Ricotta Cheese or chunky plan Cottage cheese
½-1 cup (125ml-250ml) fresh Cream (reduced fat can be used)
1 extra-large Egg
1 packet (400ml) Creamy Cheese Pasta Sauce
 
½ cup Pecorino Cheese

Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C just before you intend to bake the lasagne. Dip lasagne sheets in hot tap water. This improves the tenderness of the pasta and reduces baking time. Spread wet sheets out on a board or cloth.
Heat a large frying pan. Add spinach and cubed butter. Cover with a lid. Cook over high heat for 2 minutes, until spinach has just wilted. Season with garlic and herb seasoning. Place spinach and liquid from pan in a food processor. Blend until roughly textured. Add ricotta cheese and cream. Set aside.
Spread one third of spinach mixture into a 30cm x 24cm ovenproof dish. Layer with one third of pasta sheets and one third of ricotta mixture. Repeat until all ingredients are used. End with a layer of pasta.
Beat egg into pasta sauce and pour over lasagne. Sprinkle with grated pecorino. Leave to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, if time permits, before baking. This allows pasta time to soften more and layers to settle. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden. If the lasagne was made in advance and refrigerated or frozen, add an extra 10 minutes cooking time.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with a green salad.
