Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C or 160°C fan-forced. Lightly spray a 20cm x 30cm ovenproof dish with oil.
  2. Lightly spray a large saucepan and heat over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and cook stirring for 30 seconds. Add mince and cook, stirring to break up lumps, for 3–5 minutes or until browned. Add passata and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes or until sauce has thickened slightly.
  3. Meanwhile, place ricotta, milk, egg yolks and nutmeg in a food processor and process until smooth. Stir in spinach until well combined.
  4. Spread 1 cup of mince mixture over base of prepared dish. Top with 1 lasagne sheet. Spread 1 cup mince mixture on top, then 3/4 cup of ricotta cheese sauce. Continue layering with remaining lasagne sheets, mince sauce and cheese sauce. Sprinkle lasagne with grated cheese and parmesan. Bake for 50 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
