Ingredients
- 500 g pumpkin or sweet potato, peeled and sliced
- 2 bunches English spinach or young Silver beet, washed and sliced
- 500 g reduced-fat ricotta cheese
- 6 spring onions (including green tops), ends trimmed, chopped
- 1/2 cup parsley, chopped

Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan forced).

- Place spinach into boiling water until wilted, drain well and squeeze out any excess liquid.
- In a large bowl combine ricotta, onion and parsley.
- Arrange 3 sheets of lasagne on the base of an ovenproof pan (approx. 33cm x 23cm). Top with 1/3 each of pumpkin, tomato sauce and spinach ricotta mixture. Repeat twice and top with remaining lasagne sheets.

Disgusting, needs to be cooked for much longer than 30 minutes. Very disappointed
