  1. Preheat oven to 170C.
  2. Melt butter in a pan on a low heat.
  3. Remove from heat & mix in the flour to make a thick paste.
  4. Whisk in a small amount of the milk to make a smooth paste and return to a low/medium heat. As it's heating continue stirring & gradually add more & more of milk to the pan. Eventually the sauce will begin thickening.
  5. Stir in the spinach, peas, pesto & herbs and heat until the spinach leaves have wilted.

Enjoy with some fresh green salad or garlic bread. We also had some grilled sausages with the lasagne for all you meat lovers.
