  1. Prepare the meat sauce by heating the oil in a pan.
  2. Once the oil is hot, saute the onion until it turns soft.
  3. Add the ground beef and cook until it browns.
  4. Pour-in the diced tomatoes. Let boil and simmer for 10 minutes.

  12. At this point, we have the meat sauce and mornay sauce ready. Assemble the lasagne by arranging the lasagne pieces in a baking pan. Line the oven-ready lasagne at the bottom of the pan. Top the first layer with 1/3 of the meat sauce. Top the meat sauce with spinach. Pour a quarter (1/4) of the mornay sauce over the spinach and spread until the entire pan is covered. Do this step 2 times more so that you will have 3 layers in the pan.
