  • Put the tomatoes into a cup and add a pinch of chilli flakes if you like things spicy. Stir with a fork and put to one side to use later.

  • cut up the mint and spinach leaves into smaller pieces and add them to the cheese in the bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Fold the lasagne sheet in half
  • matching the short sides. Gently run your fingers over the fold to help the pasta break into two pieces. Spread the cheese mixture on top of both pieces of lasagna
  • then roll them up into tubes

  • Pour enough of the chopped tomato and chilli mixture into the ovenproof dish to cover the bottom. Place the rolled-up lasagne tubes into the dish and pour over the rest of the chopped tomatoes.
