Spinach & Courgette Sformato Recipe
A Sformato is a mix between a soufflé and flan with a light and fluffy texture we can't get enough of. It is the perfect creamy base to add any vegetables you like. We've added courgettes and spinach to ours, which pairs nicely with our tomato and basil sauce - don't forget the pine nuts!

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180C fan bake. Grease and line a deep 23 cm springform cake tin. Step 2
Line a roasting tin with baking paper. Add the chopped courgettes and drizzle over the olive oil. Scatter over the sage and season with salt and pepper. Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until tender and lightly caramelised. Turn occasionally. When cooked, remove from the oven and set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 160C fan bake. Step 4
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the onion and cook gently over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until softened. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes. Step 5
Remove from the heat and gradually add half of the milk, stirring constantly. Add remaining milk and stir until smooth. Step 6
Return to the heat and cook, stirring, for 4 to 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. Stir in the parmesan, nutmeg and mustard. Season to taste. Step 7
Remove from the heat and stir in the thawed spinach and courgettes. Beat the eggs into the sauce, one at a time. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin. Bake in the oven at 160C fan bake for 45 - 50 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Step 8
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Step 9
Tomato & Basil Sauce: Step 10
Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the Watties Chopped Tomatoes in Puree and cook for a further 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. Stir in the basil. Step 11
