Roasted Vegetable, Spinach and Cheese Lasagne
Now I could not post a recipe for a meat lasagne and not do one for my vegetarian friends, especially given its January and most people are trying to eat healthy, get more greens in their diet and feel better about eating all of those biscuits over Christmas. Although I doubt with the amount of cheese and pasta in this dish; it will feature on any diet plans, but it does taste amazing and contain a lot of vegetables. Bubba actually loves both versions with and without the meat.
This is similar to my lamb lasagne with regards to the fresh lasagne sheets, white sauce and cheese topping. The only difference is the filling is jammed full of your 5 a day. This week at work I attended a very useful healthy eating talk where I learned that we should actually be having 7 a day and 6 of those should be vegetables so this does take some steps in the right directions.
