\"Donna<\/a>Zucchini, spinach and mozzarella lasagne<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Serves:<\/strong> 4-6<\/p>\n

Take everything you love about lasagne \u2013 golden, bubbling top, crisp edges, gooey centre \u2013 and refresh with nourishing greens for this lighter take.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

850g English spinach (about 4 bunches), stems removed
4 cups (1kg) fresh ricotta
1 cup (80g) finely grated parmesan, plus extra
1 cup (56g) chopped mint leaves
1 cup (52g) chopped flat-leaf (Italian) parsley leaves
sea salt and cracked black pepper
3 x 30cm (12 inch) or 6 x 15cm (6 inch) square fresh lasagne sheets, blanched
4 zucchini (courgette), thinly sliced using a mandoline
3 x 100g fresh mozzarella, drained and sliced
extra virgin olive oil, for brushing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Preheat oven to 200\u00b0C (400\u00b0F).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place the spinach into a large heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow to stand for 10 seconds, then drain. Press the spinach between absorbent kitchen paper to remove any excess moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roughly chop the spinach and place into a bowl with the ricotta, parmesan, mint, parsley, salt and pepper, and mix to combine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To assemble the lasagne, place 1 lasagne sheet into the base of a lightly greased 22cm (8\u00bd inch) ovenproof frying pan. Top with 1\u00bd cupfuls of the spinach and ricotta mixture, a layer of zucchini, and then a layer of mozzarella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeat layering with remaining lasagne sheets, spinach and ricotta mixture, zucchini, and mozzarella, finishing with zucchini.

Brush the zucchini with oil, sprinkle with extra parmesan and bake for 1 hour or until golden-brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Every fresh ricotta is different so if your ricotta mixture is a little dry, add a tablespoon of milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
