Method

1. Put the passata, courgettes, red pepper and basil in a pan and bring to the boil. Turn the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes. Season and set aside.

2. Preheat your oven to 180C/Gas 4. Put the ricotta, cottage cheese and half the beaten egg in a large bowl, season and mix well.

3. Spread half the veggie sauce over the base of a deep 33 x 23cm baking dish. Place 3 lasagne sheets on top. Spread with half the ricotta mixture, then top with half the spinach.

4. Layer with 3 more lasagne sheets, the remaining ricotta mixture and the rest of the spinach. Top with the remaining lasagne sheets. Spread the rest of the tomato sauce over the top., then gently press down on the lasagne sheets so the sauce fills up around the sides.
