Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients. If you have a grill, preheat it to medium-high.

2

Heat the olive oil in a large, ovenproof pan. Add the onion, carrot, and celery with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for 4-5 minutes, until softened.

3

Add the cauliflower and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.

4

Add the garlic, sundried tomato paste, miso, paprika, and oregano. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until darkened and fragrant.

5

Add the tempeh, lentils, tomato passata, and water. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until reduced.

6

Add the spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Then stir through the tahini. Adjust seasoning to taste. You may need to add the spinach in several batches, allowing the leaves to wilt down before adding more.

7

Stir through the broken lasagne sheets. Lower the heat slightly, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, until the pasta is tender. Uncover every few minutes to stir. Stirring in the broken lasagne sheets may feel a little awkward - do your best to submerge them in the sauce. It will become easier as they soften.

8

Sprinkle with cheese. Place under the grill and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese melts. This step is optional. If you don’t have a grill you can simply grate cheese on the lasagna once it's been served.
