Beef and spinach lasagna
Lasagna is a favourite in our family. It can be made with whatever meat you like or it can be a vegetable lasagna. Can make this as one large dish and this way you will have plenty leftover.

Instructions
- In a large nonstick pan on medium-high heat, add the beef mince and cook till the mince is all cooked. Add chopped onion and cook till soft. Add the garlic, tomato paste, and tin tomato. Mix till combined. Bring the beef mixture to a boil and then turn it down to a simmer and cook for 1 hour. Check and taste mince and season as needed.

- If using fresh spinach, wilt the spinach. If using frozen spinach, make sure to squeeze out excess.
