    Ingredients

    • 1 tbs oil
    • 1 medium onion, chopped
    • 1 stick celery, diced
    • 1 tsp curry powder
    • 1 carrot, grated
    • 1 courgette, grated
    • 425g can brown lentils
    • 425g can crushed tomatoes
    • 140g tub tomato paste
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ½ x 250g packet fresh lasagne sheets

    Sauce

    • 40g margarine
    • 3 tbs plain flour
    • 3 cups low fat milk
    • ½ cup grated low fat cheese
    • ½ tsp salt

    Method

    1. Step 1

      Heat oil in a large saucepan and saute onion and celery until soft. Add curry powder and saute a further minute. Add carrot, courgette, brown lentils, tomatoes, tomato paste and salt. Bring mixture to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Set aside.

    2. Step 2

      To make sauce, place margarine in a bowl and heat in the microwave for 1 minute or until melted. Stir through flour, then microwave a further minute. Gradually add milk and then microwave for 8 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until mixture boils and thickens. Add cheese and salt and microwave for 1 minute.

    3. Step 3

      To assemble line the base of a 20cm x 33cm ovenproof dish with lasagne sheets. Spread with half the lentil sauce, then half the white sauce. Repeat the layers, ending with the white sauce. Bake in a moderate oven, 180ºC, for 40 minutes. Serves 8.
