A different take on *Lasagna*

Another easy dinner idea, this time mixing things up a little with an old favourite.

Ingredients:
I pack diced bacon (or streaky/back bacon cut up)
1 punnet rosa tomatoes
275g parmesan cheese (we mixed this up with about 100g of cheddar added into the mix)
white sauce (either store bought or make your own suing milk, flour and salt heated up in the microwave)
2 big handfulls of spinach
1 box Fattis & Monis lasagna
handful of fresh basil
1 clove garlic (to tatse)



Step 1: Heat Oven to 180C. Blanche the spinach (pour boiling water over the leaves and leave for about 25s, then drain)



Step 2: Fry the bacon bits in a pan until nice and crispy


Step 3: Start layering your lasagna ingredients starting off with a layer of white sauce. Then add lasagna (we broke the sheets into smaller layers to make it go further), adding cheese, tomatoes, bacon and basil leaves as you go. Repeat until all your ingredients are used up. Finish off with basil and a fresh tomatoes as garnish.


Step 4: Bake in the oven for 20 - 30 minutes, until cheese is crispy.

Serve and Enjoy!
