I LOVE vegetables. So any way to add them into my diet and I will. This easy vegetable lasagne recipe is not only a fantastic way to get more nutrients into your day, but also a great opportunity to use up any leftover vegetables.
Growing up, my Mum used to make this dish with a side serving of salad and a few chips – delicious! This recipe has come from her cookbook that is literally THE cookbook everyone should own: The Dairy Book of Home Cookery. This literally covers the foundation of home cooking, including lots of knowledge on food and storage, as well as recipes to make soup, bread, salads and cakes.
Here is the delicious vegetarian take on a lasagne, perfect for those long summer days in the garden.
Easy Vegetable Lasagne
Ingredients
- 350 grams sliced carrots
- 350 grams sliced courgettes
- 100 grams sliced mushrooms
- 1 medium sliced onion (red or brown)
- 1 green pepper, seeded and sliced
- 100 grams chopped celery
- 1 vegetable stock cube
- 200 ml water
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 50 grams butter
- 1 pint fresh milk
- 100 grams ready-to-cook lasagne sheets
- 175 grams grated English cheddar
Instructions
- Wash and slice up all of the vegetables.
- Mix the water and vegetable stock cube together, and bring to the boil in a pan.
- Add the vegetables and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Place flour, butter and milk in another pan, heat and whisk continuously until the sauce thickens and is nice and smooth.
- Place half the cooked vegetables into an ovenproof dish (this recipe recommends a 10×8 inches dish).
- Cover with half of the lasagne sheets, half of the sauce and a sprinkle of the grated cheese.
- Repeat to make another layer.
- Top with the remaining sauce and a sprinkle of cheese.
- Bake in the oven at 190°C or Gas Mark 5 for 35 minutes until the top is golden.
- Serve with a delicious green leaf salad!
Top Tip:
- Drain the vegetables of any excess water before adding to the ovenproof dish. This will help prevent the finished lasagne becoming too watery.
