Method

  • 1. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Grease a 20 x 25cm ovenproof dish.

  • 2. Spread the kumara onto two baking trays lined with baking paper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil, season with salt and pepper. Place into the oven for 15 minutes.

  • 3. In a large frying pan, heat the remaining oil. Add the onion and garlic, and cook, stirring for 3 minutes, or until tender. Add the mince and cook, stirring, for a further 5 minutes, or until browned. Mix through the sauce and stock. Simmer for 5 minutes.

  • 4. In a medium sized baking dish, spread 2 tablespoons of the sauce into the base. Cover with a layer of lasagne sheets. Top with half the sauce, a layer of kumara, a layer of spinach, then a lasagne sheet. Repeat the process until all ingredients are used up, finishing with lasagne sheet on top.

  • 5. Sprinkle the top with mozzarella and place into the oven for 50 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Serve with a side salad.
