Moussaka you say? Not Quite, But Close… Layer up Carrots, Potatoes, Meat Sauce and Béchamel

After making lasagne yesterday I had Leftover Meat Sauce and Leftover Béchamel
I wanted to make something different with them, rifled through my fridge and pantry and found Carrots, Potatoes and some spinach
I haven't specified quantities
I think you just use what you have, I had a couple of cups of meat sauce and about a cup of Bechamel
if you want to see how to make the Meat Sauce and Bechamel have a look here
Peel and slice carrots and potatoes into rings
Cook in microwave till just tender 2-3 minutes
Drain









Toss in a slosh of olive oil Shake of oregano, salt and pepper
Onto baking sheet and into 200 C
roast for about 15 minutes till turning golden

Spinach
Place 2 cloves of garlic smashed with sea salt into a pan
Saute gently till garlic just starting to soften
Add washed spinach and toss well and wilt it right down
Remove from pan and chop
Back into a bowl and add 2 tbs béchamel sauce
Mix well
Season with freshly ground black pepper and some finely grated Parmesan cheese
Now time to assemble
Oil a suitable dish
First layer potatoes and carrots
 Add layer of 1/2 the meat sauce
 Then the spinach mix
 Top with the remainder of the meat sauce
Layer with the remainder of the potatoes and carrots
cover with Béchamel Sauce
 Lightly Cover with foil
Bake for about 20 minutes
Take foil off and place back in the oven and bake till top is golden
and bubbling
Approx another 20 minutes
Serve...by the way, you don't need anything to go with it!!!
