50 mins
Ingredients
- 400g Quorn Mince
- 300g onions, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 150g courgette, grated
- 150g carrot, grated
- 800g tinned chopped tomatoes
- 40g tomato purée
- 1 tbsp Italian mixed herbs
- 200ml vegetable stock
- Seasoning
BÉCHAMEL SAUCE
- 120g butter or margarine
- 120g plain flour
- 1.2 litre milk
- 150g cheddar cheese, grated
- 15 dried not pre-cook lasagne sheets
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180C/Gas Mark 4.
- Heat the oil in a large pan and gently fry the onions for 5 minutes, until soft and golden. Add the garlic, courgette, and carrot and continue to fry for another minute.
- Add the tinned tomatoes, tomato puree, herbs, vegetable stock and Quorn Mince and simmer for 10 minutes. Check seasoning.
- Meanwhile to make the béchamel sauce, melt the butter in a pan and then stir in the plain flour. Constantly stirring, cook for 3 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and gradually add the milk, stirring well after each addition. Return the pan to the heat and cook gently, stirring continuously until the sauce is thick and smooth.
- To assemble the lasagne, spread one third of the Quorn Mince mixture over the base of a large shallow ovenproof dish then arrange 5 lasagne sheets over the top. Next spread one third of the béchamel sauce over the lasagne. Repeat twice more, finishing with a layer of béchamel sauce.
- Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the top of the final layer then bake the lasagne in the pre-heated oven for 25 minutes until golden and core temperature is reached.
Tip - As an alternative try adding grated butternut squash and finely chopped red peppers.
