Instructions

  3. Add 500 g Passata, 1 Stock pot, 2 tablespoon Sun-dried tomato pesto, 2 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar, 1 pinch Sea salt and 1 pinch Ground black pepper. Mix well. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Add 60 g Spinach to the ragu and heat until it has wilted.

Make the bechamel

  2. Once thickened, add 20 g Parmesan and stir until it has melted.

Build the lasagna

  1. Put half of the ragu on the bottom of a baking dish.
  2. Spoon ⅓ of the bechamel over the ragu.
  3. Lay 3 of the 6 Lasagna sheets over the bechamel.
  4. Add the remaining ragu, then another ⅓ bechamel, then 20 g Parmesan.
  5. Add the other 3 lasagna noodles, the remaining bechamel and sprinkle over 60 g Cheddar cheese.
  6. Cook for 25-30 minutes, until the cheddar is bubbling.

Notes

  • If the chicken lasagna starts to brown a bit too much, then you can add some foil on top for the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • Allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before serving. This helps it set and makes it easier to slice.
  • Add a kick of heat by mixing some red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños into the chicken filling. You can also use a spicy marinara sauce for an extra layer of heat.
