Ricotta, pesto & tomato one-pan lasagne
Check the pasta is cooked through by inserting a small, sharp knife into the lasagne. If it goes in easily, then it's time to serve up!

- Cooking oil spray
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp milk
- 500g fresh ricotta

Spread half the pasta sauce over base of prepared pan. Arrange a third of the lasagne sheets over the sauce, overlapping and cutting with scissors to fit. Top with half the ricotta mixture then the pesto. Scatter with half the spinach. Repeat with another third of the lasagne sheets. Spread over remaining pasta sauce. Top with remaining lasagne sheets and ricotta mixture. Scatter with remaining spinach. Arrange bocconcini over top. Season with pepper.
