I had some left over butternut squash from the tagine the other night so I roasted that in the oven. I remembered seeing in one of my Jamie Oliver books that he does a layer of roasted butternut squash in one of his more labourous lasagne recipes, so I thought hey! If Jamie does it...it can't be all bad?? So that was the filling for one layer done...what about the other XXXXXX layers??
Lentils!!
I boiled up about a cup of red lentils (with a few brown lentils to make it up to a cup!!) and added that to sauteed chopped onion, garlic, carrot, celery, zucchini and green pepper. I added a tin of chopped tomatoes and a jar of store bought pasta sauce...let it all bubble away and thicken...and ta daaaaaaaaa Lentil Bolognaise sauce!
Lasagne sheets layer with bechemal and lentil bolognaise with a surprise layer of chunky roasted butternut squash, served with a side salad of rocket and red chard....so proud!
VERY LOUD applause XXXX
