How To Make Spinach And Asparagus Lasagne

Step 1: Make the asparagus sauce

Step 2: Cook the asparagus

Half fill the large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the top and middle sections of the asparagus and cook for 3 or 4 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately transfer to a bowl to run cold water over them. Transfer back into the colander and allow them to drain.

Step 3: Sieve the sauce

Place the sieve over a large bowl and pour through the asparagus sauce. Keep the contents of the bowl and discard any residue that may have collected in the sieve.

Step 4: Preheat the oven

Set the temperature of the oven to 200ºC (400ºF/ gas mark 6).

Step 5: Layer the lasagne

Using a knob of butter, lightly grease the inside of the baking tray. Layer the tray with pasta sheets (breaking in half if required), spinach, asparagus (tips and mid-sections) and the sauce. Repeat the process and sprinkle grated cheese over the top.

Step 6: Bake the lasagne

Place the lasagne into the oven and cook for around 30 minutes, or until the cheese turns golden.

Step 7: Remove from the oven

After 30 minutes, remove the lasagne from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 8: Serve and enjoy

Cut yourself a generous slice and place on a serving plate. Add some fresh green salad and a slice or two of crusty garlic bread and enjoy your vegetarian meal.
