Spinach & cheese lasagna


A very easy and quick comfort food. 
This recipe makes a small batch as I made it for my small family. Can easily double to make a large tray. 

Spinach & cheese ingredients:
1 tub of Aldi Ricotta cheese
1 box of Aldi frozen spinach (squeeze all the liquid out)
1 egg
1-2 handful shredded cheese
Salt and black powdered pepper to taste
Mix in a bowl. Set aside

Lasagna sheet ingredients:
4 eggs
400g flour
15g olive oil

Mix, knead and roll out using pasta machine. 
(Or alternatively, buy a fresh supermarket lasagna sheets... I think they're about $2 for a 250g pack)?

Red sauce:
Just use your favourite pasta sauce!
Or you can buy pasta sauces in jars if you are really cutting time 

Easy to adapt to what you have available in your fridge or pantry. 

To assemble:
Layer red sauce, lasgna sheets, red sauce, spinach & cheese mix in an oven proof tray. 
Repeat until last layer is pasta sheet and a some red sauce on top. 
Sprinkle with more shredded cheese (I also add Parmesan cheese too) as the final layer. 

Bake in preheated oven until the cheese is nice and golden. Serve hot with a side salad.
