Hidden Veggie, Beef & Lentil Lasagne
with Parmesan Cheese
Construction is key when making a good lasagne but maybe more importantly is what you pack in. Lay a sheet of lasagne and begin adding the rich tomato sauce dotted with hidden sautéed veggies and beef. Then another lasagne sheet and more sauce and more and more! Don’t forget the Parmesan to give this extravaganza an extra zap.

Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Finely chop courgette, onion and garlic. Slice fresh lasagne sheet in half widthways. • Grate the carrot. Rinse half the lentils.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef mince, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 4-5 minutes. • Add courgette, onion and carrot and cook, stirring, until softened, 7-8 minutes. • Add garlic and garlic & herb seasoning, and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add crushed & sieved tomatoes, vegetable stock powder, lentils, the brown sugar and water and cook until thickened, 4-6 minutes. • Season with salt and pepper. Stir through baby spinach leaves until wilted, 1-2 minutes.
• While the filling is cooking, heat a medium frying pan over medium heat. Cook the butter and plain flour, stirring, until a thin paste forms, 1 minute. • Remove pan from heat, then slowly whisk in the milk and bechamel sauce. Whisk until smooth. Season.
• Spoon half the lentil filling into a baking dish. Top with a layer of lasagne sheets (lay two sheets alongside each other for 4 people). • Repeat with the remaining lentil filling and lasagne sheets.
• Top with bechamel sauce and sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese. • Bake lasagne until golden, 20-25 minutes.
• Divide hidden veggie, beef and lentil lasagne between plates. Enjoy!
