I love this comforting lasagne, it's creamy and cheesy with the sharpness of tomato and onion to cut through. delicious!
3 onions, diced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 red pepper, diced
4 tins chopped tomatoes
2tbsp tomato puree
2 tsp oregano
2 tsp thyme
500g spinach
200g cottage cheese
6 x wholewheat lasagne sheets
200g cheddar cheese, grated
Worcester sauce
Fry the onions, pepper and garlic for 5 mins on a low heat. Add the tomatoes, tomato puree and herbs and simmer for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, wilt the spinach by putting it in a sieve or colander over a pan of boiling water. Once wilted, squeeze out any excess liquid before transferring it into a jug. Add the cottage cheese and use a hand blender to blend the spinach and cottage cheese into a green paste. Add some black pepper if desired.
In a dish, approx 1.5 inches tall, start with a layer half the tomato mixture. Put 3 sheets of lasagne on top. Then put half the creamy spinach paste on top of the lasagne. Add a second layer of tomatoes using the remainder of the mixture. Add one more layer of lasagne sheets, with the rest of the spinach mixture on top. Finish off with the grated cheese and splash with worcestershire sauce.
bake in the oven at 180 degrees for 25 minutes.
