Ingredients
300g
watercress
500g
ricotta
100g
parmesan (or vegetarian Italian-style hard cheese), grated
2
x 350g tubs fresh tomato and basil sauce
250g
fresh lasagne sheets
Directions
Step 1Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Put the watercress in a large heatproof bowl, cover with just-boiled water from the kettle, leave for 1min and then drain. Refresh under cold water. Lift up handfuls and squeeze out as much excess moisture as you can. Roughly chop.
Step 2Return watercress to the empty bowl and mix in the ricotta, 75g of the Parmesan and some seasoning.
Step 3Spread a third of the tomato sauce in the base of a 20 x 30cm ovenproof dish. Top with a layer of lasagne sheets, followed by a third of the ricotta mixture (dot this over and spread slightly – it will melt down as it cooks). Repeat, layering the tomato sauce, lasagne sheets and ricotta mixture twice more, finishing with the ricotta mixture. Sprinkle over the remaining Parmesan.
Step 4Cook in the oven for 30min, until golden and bubbling.
