  I hate recipes that use ready made stuff, really it means they take twice as long as stated!!!

  I made this tonight and thought it was tasty and filling. I only used about 150g of spinach though, I've no idea how you would get 400g in there! I cooked it after making it, so didn't freeze it and baked it for about 25mins. I used cheddar rather than parmesan, and also when cooking the sausages I added some red wine which gave them a nice flavour. It mentions glazing with an egg but I didn't bother with that. It is a huge dish will keep us going for a few days!

  This tasted really good even though I left the sausages out and served them separately as I was cooking for vegetarians too. I made it with the tomato sauce in the bottom of the dish and layered up as per the recipe. I used only 200g of spinach but this seemed enough. I also made my own cheese sauce and used Cheddar instead of Parmesan. It didn't mention what to do with the egg so I mixed it up with the last bit of Cheddar and poured over the top before putting into the oven. Very good end result.

  I forgot to use the egg... I think if I did it again I'd use cheddar. All round a very good recipe, that I'll do again. Could easily be doubled to feed a crowd.

  I didn't use the egg either but still found this very tasty. Made my own tomato sauce and cheese sauce as don't like to use shop bought ones. Will make this again for sure

  Great comfort food! I added some grated carrot while cooking the sausages, and some balsamic vinegar after adding the passata and it was delicious! Will definitely be making again
