Super Quick Spinach and Cheese Lasagne

I have had a huge craving for lasagne lately, so much so that I've actually had it twice in a week! I don't like mince so traditional lasagne is out but there are so many other variations to try. This is really simple to make and only takes 20 mins to cook. I added bacon to the recipe, because bacon makes everything better!

I did however, have a disaster with the bottom layer of pasta. I have no pre-cook lasagne (ie you don't need to cook before using), so I just shove it in the dish and away you go, but the bottom layer of pasta didn't cook. In fact after 30 mins in the oven it was still hard. I have now been told that this is because there isn't enough water in the cream cheese mixture, as there would be in a traditional lasagne, so it's always a good idea to pre-cook the lasagne. I shall remember this for next time! But still, a delicious dish.
