1	Garlic clove, crushed
8 Tbsp	Tomato pasta sauce
60 g	Fresh mozzarella, grated
1 sprinkle	Chopped chives, or spring onions to garnish

Directions

1. Cut the lasagne into 6 squares that will fit a large mug. (The corners will fold up the sides of the mug a little.) Place in a baking dish and cover with boiling water
2. Place the spinach in a microwave bowl. Cover and microwave on high power for about 1 minute or until wilted. Cool a little.
3. Combine the spinach, capsicum, ricotta, garlic and seasonings.
4. Place 2 tablespoons of the tomato pasta sauce on the base of two large mugs. Add a drained piece of lasagne to each mug, then top with half the spinach mixture and a little mozzarella. Add more lasagne, spinach and mozzarella followed by the last square of lasagne and the tomato pasta sauce and the remaining mozzarella. Garnish.
5. Cover and microwave on high for 2 minutes in 30 second bursts. Check to ensure the pasta is cooked.
