Pork, Spinach and Mushroom Lasagne

A creamy and indulgent Pork, Spinach and Mushroom Lasagne. There are three sauces in this lasagne, a pork ragu, a spinach bechamel and a creamy mushroom, so I'll be honest and say it was a bit of a faff (my Nana loved that word) to make and put together, but well worth it when it came to tasting! It's beautifully rich and creamy and fantastic with a slice of garlic bread. TOP TIPS FOR MAKING THE LASAGNE The lasagne can be frozen so why not make two and freeze one for later? Some halved cherry tomatoes on top would be a nice addition. Serve with a crispy green salad and garlic bread.
