Ingredients
300g beef mince
1 onion, diced
2 garlic clove, minced
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tin tomato diced
120g spinach
1 courgette (zucchini), finely sliced into strips
100g ricotta
1/2 tsp nutmeg
20g parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas mark 6.
In a flameproof casserole dish, or small oven-proof pan, saute mince and onion together for 10 minutes, until onion has softened. Add garlic, oregano and tinned tomatoes – cook down for 5-10 minutes before adding the spinach and stirring through. Allow to cook down and thicken for 5 minutes.
Mix the nutmeg into the ricotta.
Either transfer the mince to an oven-proof dish or keep in your casserole dish. Flatten the mince mixture, layer on the courgette strips, scoop over the ricotta and top with parmesan cheese.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until browning on top. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
