9. Cook on low to medium heat until there are no lumps
10. Add the milk and stir until thickened . I put in a packet of Royco cheese and peppercorn sauce to flavour it and to help thicken the sauce faster.
11. .Pre-heat the oven to 160 C. Grease an ovenproof dish and spoon a layer of the sauce at the bottom of the dish
12. Cover with a single layer of lasagne sheets
13. Spoon in some of the spinach and mushroom mix depending on how thick or thin you want the lasagne to be, and add in some of the sauce

14. Place another layer of lasagne sheets over the mixture. Continue in this way alternating between lasagne sheets, spinach and mushroom mix and sauce until you finish with a thick layer of the sauce covering the lasagne sheets.
14. Grate cheese to finish. Place in the oven and bake at 160°C for about 20 minutes. Cover loosely with foil ( shiny side up ) if you feel that the lasagne is browning too quickly before it is baked.
15. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving ( if you can resist, became believe me once the delicious aroma wafts through your home you will have your family sitting at the table waiting to eat before it is even taken out of the oven )
Enjoy :)
