Try this meat-free lasagne as a lighter alternative to other traditional versions. It uses instant lasagne sheets, which means it is very quick to assemble.

Ingredients

Serves : 6 

  • 750 g ricotta
  • ½ cup grated parmesan
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 litre chunky tomato pasta sauce
  • 16 sheets instant lasagne
  • 600 g frozen chopped leaf spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1⅔ cups coarsely grated mozzarella

Directions

Preparation:30min  ›  Cook:55min  ›  Ready in:1hour25min 

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly oil a large ovenproof baking dish measuring about 23×33 cm and about 7 cm deep.
  2. Mix together the ricotta, parmesan and egg in a large bowl. Spread 1 cup of the pasta sauce over the base of the oiled baking dish. Arrange four of the lasagne sheets to cover the base of the dish; if necessary, overlap them a little. Spread with a quarter of the ricotta mixture, then top with a third of the spinach. Repeat layering twice more with the sauce, lasagne sheets, ricotta mixture and spinach. Top with the remaining four sheets of lasagne.
  3. Spread the remaining ricotta mixture and pasta sauce over the top, then gently press the lasagne sheets down into the dish, so the sauce comes up around the sides. Use a sheet of foil to cover the dish.
  4. Bake for 35 minutes, then uncover, sprinkle with the mozzarella and bake for a further 20 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbling. Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 10 minutes before cutting into rectangles to serve.

cook's tip

Depending on which brand of lasagne you use, you may find that you need more or less sheets than the recipe specifies in order to cover the dish. Any leftover sheets will keep for next time.

I finely diced and cooked until soft - 1 brown onion & 2 cloves of garlic. I then added this to my spinach mixture. I also used 2 eggs in my ricotta and cheddar cheese as well. SO easy & VERY yummy! - 10 Mar 2011
