  • Roast for 25 minutes, turning at 15 minutes, until tender and browned.
  • Remove from oven, loosen from tray with spatula while warm (can stick when cools).
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and onion, cook for 3 minutes until golden.
  • Add passata, crushed tomato, water, dried herbs, chilli, salt and pepper. Stir. Simmer on medium low heat for 20 minutes. Adjust salt at the end. *Add a teeny touch of sugar if it's a bit sour, depends on quality of tomatoes used.*
  • Remove from stove and let cool for 5 minutes before using.

EASY VEGETARIAN LASAGNE (SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED)



Easy Vegetarian Lasagne (Some Assembly Required) image

A few days ago I was thinking about dinner and hadn't planned anything, but our garden's producing copious amounts of silverbeet at the moment, and I realised with that and a few other ingredients I conveniently had around, I had the making of a lasagne. And it turned out blimmin' delicious (in my own humble opinion). Anywho, I thought I'd share. I'm a vegetarian, which is why I made it vegetarian, but I also think mince overpowers tomato-ey dishes (ie. mexican, spaghetti bolognese, lasagne) and that it tastes better without. So meat eaters should give this a go too.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (14 ounce) cans chopped tomatoes with juice
5 garlic cloves, diced (suit to your taste)
1 dash vinegar
1 dash red wine
1/2 teaspoon sugar
plenty salt, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
250 g bow tie pasta
5 leaves silver beet (or spinach if you prefer)
1 dash rocket and Italian parsley (or any other herbs you like)
250 g cottage cheese (or ricotta, but I had cottage cheese in the fridge)
1/2 cup grated colby, to crisp up on top (parmesan is more traditional, but I'm a poor student)

Steps:

  • Get a big pot heating up for the pasta, make sure you salt it well, I think it's amazing how much better the pasta tastes when you've put a good tablespoon of salt in there, or more!) Chuck in your pasta when it starts boiling. Make sure you keep an eye on it and drain it and cool it with some cold water when it's tender but still has some bite (just eat some to check - should be around 10 mins).
  • Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a new saucepan. Keep this cooking (stir occasionally) while you prepare the rest of the food.
  • Cut up your silverbeet into thin strips (don't need to be fussy, just so that it can be sprinkled into layers. Cut up your rocket, parsley, or other herbs.
  • It's time to layer. I used a deep small casserole dish. So, now put half the silverbeet in the bottom of your baking dish, then some dollops of cottage cheese (about a quarter of the tub), then some tomato (about a third) and some rocket and parsley, then half of the pasta. Repeat those layers once more. On the top goes the rest of the tomato mix, then the rest of the cottage cheese (so there's a nice thick cheesey layer on the top, yum!) the rest of the herbs, and a smattering of other harder cheese to get crispy in the oven.
  • Put it in the oven at medium heat until the cheese on top is golden. There's no set time, especially because everything is already cooked. You could grill it if you wanted to, but baking it for 20 minutes or so lets all the flavours meld together.

3 red peppers, cut into large chunks
2 aubergines, cut into ½ cm thick slices
8 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for the dish
300g lasagne sheets
125g mozzarella
handful cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tbsp olive oil
2 onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 carrot, roughly chopped
2 tbsp tomato purée
200ml white wine
3 chopped tomatoes
1 bunch of basil, leaves picked
85g butter
85g plain flour
750ml milk

Steps:

  • To make the tomato sauce, heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the onions, garlic and carrot. Cook for 5-7 mins over a medium heat until softened. Turn up the heat a little and stir in the tomato purée. Cook for 1 min, pour in the white wine, then cook for 5 mins until this has reduced by two-thirds. Pour over the chopped tomatoes and add the basil leaves. Bring to the boil then simmer for 20 mins. Leave to cool then whizz in a food processor. Will keep, cooled, in the fridge for up to three days or frozen for three months.
  • To make the white sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the plain flour, then cook for 2 mins. Slowly whisk in the milk, then bring to the boil, stirring. Turn down the heat, then cook until the sauce starts to thicken and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Will keep, cooled, in the fridge for up to three days or frozen for three months.
  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Lightly oil two large baking trays and add the peppers and aubergines. Toss with the olive oil, season well, then roast for 25 mins until lightly browned.
  • Reduce the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Lightly oil a 30 x 20cm ovenproof dish. Arrange a layer of the vegetables on the bottom, then pour over a third of the tomato sauce. Top with a layer of lasagne sheets, then drizzle over a quarter of the white sauce. Repeat until you have three layers of pasta.
  • Spoon the remaining white sauce over the pasta, making sure the whole surface is covered, then scatter over the mozzarella and cherry tomatoes. Bake for 45 mins until bubbling and golden.
