Ingredients:
Frylight Extra Virgin Olive Oil cooking spray1 onion, chopped
2 courgettes, sliced
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
200g mushrooms, sliced
100ml red or white wine
2 tbsp sundried tomato purée
400g tin chopped tomatoes
200g passata
100g baby spinach
2 tbsp each fresh basil and fresh parsley, chopped
250g pack fresh lasagne sheets
a few fresh sprigs of thyme
For the topping:
250g ricotta30g vegetarian-friendly hard cheese, grated
4 tbsp skimmed milk
4 spring onions, finely chopped
method:
- Heat the oven to 190°C. Spray a 1.5–2 litre ovenproof dish with Frylight.
- Spray a large frying pan with Frylight to cover the cooking surface of the pan and set over a medium heat. Wait until the Frylight goes clear, then add the onion, courgettes, garlic and mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
- Stir in the wine, tomato purée, chopped tomatoes and passata. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for five minutes, until reduced by a third. Stir in the spinach and the chopped basil and parsley.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, place your sauce into a food processor and blitz; if you prefer a chunkier texture, then leave it as is.
- Blitz all of the topping ingredients in a food processor until smooth.
- To assemble the lasagne, layer a third of the vegetable mix in the prepared dish, and top with a third of the lasagne sheets. Repeat twice more.
- Spread the cheese topping over the final layer. Sprinkle over more nutmeg and press in the sprigs of thyme.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, then serve.
