This is a delicious, easy midweek meal, perfect for a cold night and would go excellently with some crusty bread and a salad. I used low fat milk and spiral pasta; I don't have a grill a pan could fit under, so I added some chopped fresh mozzarella, parmesan and tasty cheese to the lasagne when I added the spinach/egg mix and simmered it, covered, for a bit over 10 minutes to get the cheese all nice and melty! The spinach part of this is ace, particularly combined with the mozzarella, I'd use more spinach next time. We really enjoyed this and are looking forward to the leftovers - thank you for posting!

Fantastic...a great midweek meal. Way easy to prepare and very tasty. I topped mine with a good handful of mozerella and melted it under the griller until it went golden and bubbly....YUM!! Thanks for sharing!
