This ham, spinach and mozzarella lasagne recipe is another one I found on the Olive website when I was looking for recipe ideas for using up leftover festive gammon.
We love lasagne and were intrigued as to how this version would turn out...it's packed with chunky ham and oozing mozzarella.
The end result is a full of flavour, delicious lasagne that has an inventive twist on the traditional version. We really enjoyed it, and hope you do too!
Tips
- If you're unable to get fresh lasagne sheets, use 12 sheets of dried pasta (3 sheets per layer). Boil them in salted water for 8 to 10 minutes before assembling at Step 4.
- This ham, spinach and mozzarella lasagne recipe is easily adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.

You'll find all of these and more in this delicious selection of Spanish recipes!!
