  • 60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
  • 3 green shallots, chopped
  • 1 bunch English spinach, rinsed, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, grated
  • 250g fresh ricotta
  • 40.00 gm basil pesto, plus extra to serve

  • 100g chedder cheese, coarsely grated
  • 30g butter
  • 300g tub creamy pumpkin soup

Instructions:
  • Boil lasagne sheets for 2 minutes until softened. Then, lay them flat on a clean surface.
  • Heat half of the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Sauté shallots for 1 minute. Add spinach and zucchini, and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until just wilted. Allow to cool before stirring in ricotta, pesto, half of the pine nuts, and cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat the grill on high.

  • Drizzle soup with remaining cheese and bake until bubbly. Sprinkle with the rest of the pine nuts, dollop extra pesto and olive oil. Finish with torn basil leaves.
