Lasagne Tricolore Recipes

Cooking Time: 45 mins - 1 hr
Serves: 4   

Ingredients

250g lean minced beef
1 x 300g Dallaglio by Sacla’ Tricolore Sauce or 300g Sacla' Italian Tomato Sauce
1 large carrot, thinly sliced
¼ teaspoon each of salt, black pepper and ground allspice
400g fresh leaf spinach, washed not dried
A little extra virgin olive oil, for greasing
110g plain lasagne sheets (about 6-8)
175g buffalo Mozzarella (drained weight)
20g Parmesan, freshly grated

Instructions

Combine the meat, sauce, carrots and seasonings in a large, flameproof casserole or sauté pan and cook over a high heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Reduce the heat and add 50ml water. Cook for 10 minutes more.

Wilt the still-wet spinach leaves in a large pan. Spoon half of them into the base of a lightly oiled 25cm x 17cm (approx) rectangular baking dish and layer half of the lasagne sheets over these.

Spoon over half the meat sauce. Repeat the entire process once again.

Bake, foil-covered, in an oven preheated to 190°C/375°F/ Gas Mark 5 for 35 minutes. Uncover and place the sliced Mozzarella on the top.

Continue baking, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted, hot and bubbling. Serve large rectangles with a crisp green salad and extra Parmesan.
