    1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly spray an ovenproof dish with oil. Spray a pan with oil and cook onion and garlic until softened. Add semi-dried tomatoes, capsicum, mushrooms, pesto and herbs. Cook for a few minutes. Add tomatoes, stock, 1/2 cup water, dates and chicken. Cook for 15 minutes. Season with pepper.

    2 Meanwhile make cheese sauce. Blend cottage cheese, milk, three quarters of the parmesan and mustard until smooth and creamy.

    3 Add spinach to chicken mix and stir until wilted.

    4 Place a layer of lasagne in the dish. Add a third of the chicken mix to the dish, top with lasagne sheets and then a layer of cheese sauce. Press lightly with a large spoon between layering. Repeat the layers, finishing with cheese sauce. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan. Cook for 35-40 minutes. Garnish with herbs and freshly ground black pepper.
