Steps:

  • Slice the chicken thighs into thin strips, removing any sinew or fat. Slice the lardons or bacon into chunks. Heat a frying pan with a little oil and fry the chicken and bacon until cooked through. Set aside in a dish to cool.
  • In the pan, add a little more oil and sautee the chopped onion. Add the garlic and cook for another min. Add the cooked chicken and bacon, the jar of pesto, the white wine and a little water. Add the spinach and wilt. Season with salt and plenty of black pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 170C/Gas 5. Using a large lasagne dish begin to assemble. Pour a layer of the chicken pesto mixture on the bottom. Add a layer of lasagne sheets. Add a layer of courgette strips and asparagus spears. Repeat the process until the dish is full. Cover with foil and bake in the middle of the heated oven for 35 mins.
  • To prepare the topping mix the ricotta cheese with chopped basil, salt & pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice. Remove the lasagne from the oven, peel off the foil lid & discard. Spread the ricotta cheese mixture on the top. Sprinkle liberally with grated parmesan.
  • Bake for a further 10 minutes uncovered until bubbling. Serve with the antipasti salad and toasted ciabatta rubbed with garlic and sprinkled with olive oil.
