Instructions
1 Preheat oven to 180ºC. Spray a large pan with oil and place over a moderate heat. Gently cook onion and garlic until soft but not browned. Add mince and brown gently. Add capsicums and mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, wine, herbs and paprika. Simmer for about 20 minutes, until veges are soft and liquid has reduced by a third.
2 While meat is cooking, make the cheese sauce. Blend cottage cheese until smooth, then add milk and all the parmesan except 2 tablespoons. Blend until you have a smooth, creamy sauce.
3 Add spinach to meat mixture. Stir in and cook a few minutes until wilted.
4 In a deep oven dish, place a third of the meat mixture. Follow with a layer of pasta, then a layer of meat, then a layer of cheese sauce. Repeat the layering, finishing with the cheese sauce. Sprinkle remaining parmesan over top of lasagne. Cook in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving with a green salad.
