Pour half of the contents of each bag into microwaveable bowls

Fry the garlic in a little oil for 1 minute then add the rest of the sauce ingredients to the pot/pan and simmer for 7-8 minutes until thick and rich in flavour. Adjust seasoning if needed.
To assemble
-
Spread half of the tomato sauce into the base of a greased 20cm x 30cm oven-proof dish.
-
Spread a few spoons of McCain Butternut mash onto half of the lasagne sheets and McCain creamed spinach onto the other half and roll them up.
-
Arrange Lasagne rollups into the dish alternating fillings i.e. one butternut, one spinach. Make sure the seam of the lasagne is at the bottom to seal them closed.
