This veggie lasagne is super easy to make thanks to our Tomatoey French Lentils. Layers of lentil ragu, topped with a creamy bechamel and fresh lasagne. You can't beat it.

Ingredients

  • Olive oil
  • 1 large onion, roughly chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 500g mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 x 250g pouches of Merchant Gourmet Tomatoey French Lentils 
  • 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 200ml vegetable stock 
  • Salt and pepper
  • 6-9 fresh lasagne sheets
  • A handful of parmesan (or vegetarian alternative)
  • Green salad, to serve
  • For the cheese sauce:

  • 100g butter
  • 100g plain flour
  • 600ml milk
  • 75g grated cheddar
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
     

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to high.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large pan and add the onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes, or until softened.
  3. Stir in the Tomatoey French Lentils, chopped tomatoes and vegetable stock. Simmer gently for 10 minutes and season to taste.
  4. Meanwhile, for the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over a medium-high heat then mix in the flour and stir until bubbling. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Simmer gently, stirring constantly until the sauce starts to thicken then stir in the cheese and season well. Remove from heat.
  6. To assemble the lasagne, spread a quarter of the lentil ragu over the base of a well oiled baking dish, cover this with a quarter of the cheese sauce, then arrange a third of the lasagne sheets over the top. Repeat, finishing with a layer of cheese sauce. Sprinkle over the parmesan cheese and grill for 4-5 minutes until golden and bubbling.
  7. Serve with fresh green salad and enjoy!

  • Just wondering is this recipe correct, it doesn’t mention baking – so how does the pasta cook..?
