Instructions

Step 1

First up you need to infuse the milk for the béchamel, in a medium saucepan add the soy/oat milk followed by the onion, bay, nutmeg & seasonings. Place the saucepan over a low heat & stir every now and then.

Step 2

For the ragu, in a large saucepan placed over a medium heat, add the oil followed by the onion, garlic, celery & a pinch of salt. Sweat the mix down for around 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the courgette, aubergine & mixed herbs. Turn the heat down lower, pop a lid on & allow the mix to cook for 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the vegan mince & stir well. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Deglaze the pan with the balsamic vinegar & chopped tomatoes.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato puree, then pop the lid on and let the mix cook over a low heat for 10-15 minutes.

Step 7

For the béchamel, in a saucepan add the vegan margarine and place the pan over a low heat.

Step 8

When the margarine is melted, add the flour. Using a spatular mix well. Cook the mix whilst stirring for a couple of minutes to cook out the flour. It should resemble a paste like consistency.

Step 9

Gradually whisk in the infused milk, a little at a time.

Step 10

Once you’d added all the milk, the béchamel should be creamy, if you want to make it cheesy, add vegan cheese & nutritional yeast.

Step 11

Pre heat your oven to 180 degrees C.

Step 12

Build your lasagne in your oven proof baking dish, a layer at a time, I like to do – ragu, béchamel then pasta sheets. Repeat this until you have filled your dish. Making sure the top layer is béchamel.

Step 13

Bake the lasagne in your oven for 45 minutes. Then serve.
