Ingredients

For the tomato and vegetable mince

2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves minced
500 g (1.1 lb) vegetarian mince
1 large courgette cut into 1cm /(1/2 inch) pieces
1 red pepper deseeded and cut into 1cm /(1/2 inch) pieces
1 green pepper deseeded and cut into 1cm /(1/2 inch) pieces
2 medium carrots cut into 1cm /(1/2 inch) pieces
1 vegetable stock pot/cube crumbled
400 g (14.1 oz) passata
400 g (14.1 oz) chopped tomatoes

For the white sauce

400 ml (13.5 floz) whole milk
1 tbsp butter
3 tbsp plain flour
1 pinch salt and pepper

To bring it all together

250 g (8.8 oz) fresh egg lasagne sheets
60 g (2.1 oz) mature cheddar cheese grated
1 pinch salt and pepper

Instructions

To make the tomato and vegetable mince

Warm 1 tbsp of the oil in a large nonstick pot over a medium heat.
Add the garlic and fry for 1 minute.
Add the mince and fry for 2 minutes until just beginning to brown.
Once lightly browned, set aside in a bowl.
In the pan, add the remaining oil.
Add the veggies and sweat for 4-5 minutes until the carrots are just softened.
Add the vegetarian mince back into the pan and stir through.
Stir in the passata, chopped tomatoes and stock cube and cook for 5 minutes until the tomatoes are darker in colour.
Take off the heat and set aside.

To make the white sauce

Put the butter, flour, milk and a pinch of salt and pepper in a non-stick pan.
Whisk together over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes until thickened. Taste to make sure the flour is 'cooked out'.

To put it all together

Layer a third of the tomatoe sauce into the greased lasagne tin.
Cover with a third of the fresh lasagne sheets.
Cover that with a third of the white sauce.
Repeat for three layers of pasta, finishing with white sauce.
Top with the grated cheese and a good pinch of freshly milled black pepper.
Bake at 200C (180C fan-assisted, 400F) for 20-30 minutes until bubbling and golden on top.
