Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onion and fry for 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add in the sliced broccoli stems, a splash of water and fry for 4-5 minutes until softened, shifting occasionally. In the final minute, stir in ½ the rinsed spinach until wilted. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream, 100ml of water and some lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper. Place in a blender and blend until smooth.
ALL TOGETHER
Place a ⅓ of the blended veg in the bottom of a small ovenproof dish. Top with ⅓ of the mashed peas and ⅓ of the lasagne sheets. Layer on ⅓ of the baby marrow ribbons. Repeat with the remaining blended veg, peas, lasagne sheets and baby marrow to create two more layers. Spread the loosened ricotta mixture over the top of the lasagne. Sprinkle over the grated cheese and place in the hot oven for 10-12 minutes. In the final 5 minutes, sprinkle the broccoli tips over the lasagne and bake until the lasagne is bubbling and the cheese is starting to brown.
ALMOST THERE
In a bowl, mix the remaining spinach with a drizzle of olive oil, some seasoning and a squeeze of lemon juice.
A FEAST!
