Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Place the pesto, half the mascarpone and 250ml water (or vegetable stock if you have some) in a pan. Heat and mix until smooth and bubbling. Add the spinach and peas and cook for a few more mins until the spinach has wilted and the peas thawed. Add the herbs and season.

  • step 2

    Place a third of the pesto mixture into a baking dish roughly 18 x 25cm. Top with 4 lasagne sheets, then repeat with 2 more layers of sauce and lasagne sheets, finishing with a layer of pasta. Mix enough milk into the remaining mascarpone to make a white sauce consistency, season, then pour over the top. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and pine nuts. Bake for 35-40 mins until golden brown on top and bubbling around the edges. Scatter over the reserved basil leaves and serve with a green salad, if you like.

I had high hopes for this recipe as I love pesto and I love lasagne, but never the twain should meet. It tasted like someone had mixed in the contents of my lawnmower with pesto and sprinkled some parmesan on top. It was overwhelmingly green, with a sloppy consistency and left a horrible bitter…

question

For my Brit friends across the Pond: This recipe sounds really good! You refer to a small pack of mint and one of basil. Can you let us know a measurement/ weight of some kind. Thank you!
