Spinach and Ricotta Lasagna

Make our microwave vegetarian lasagna in no time at all. Layered with delicious ingredients, lasagna is a family favourite. This old-school Italian dish is generally heavy on the meat sauce and quite time-consuming to put together. We’ve given lasagna a meatless makeover and created a recipe that you can put together and have on the table in no time at all, using a standard microwave.
