200 g spinach
50 g parmesan cheese
13 g plain flour
13 g butter
300 ml milk

To make the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the flour. Remove the pan from the heat and add the milk. Stir over a medium heat and bring to the boil. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until it begins to thicken. Add the cheese and season with salt and pepper.

Cook the pasta for 2 mins less than package instructions.
Pour a kettle of boiling water over the spinach to wilt.
Add the pasta to the cheese sauce.
In a large dish, add the meat sauce and then the spinach, cover with the cheesy pasta mix and top with the parmesan.
Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes at 180C fan.
