This was made primarily as part of our New Year freezer “reset” also using up some fresh vegetables. A pepper and/or some mushrooms would have gone in but I didn’t have any spare. #WastenotWantnot

Steps

60-70 minutes including prep

1

Fry the onion and garlic to soften. Meanwhile, boil the carrots and beans.
2

Pre-heat oven to Gas Mark 5 or electric equivalent (Circotherm 160C)
3

Add the carrots, beans, peas, sweet corn, spinach and broad beans to onion and garlic and stir gently but thoroughly. Add the tomatoes, sugar, oregano and a half can of water and stir again. Season and cook uncovered for 10 minutes to reduce the liquid. Stir regularly.
4

Later the sauce and lasagne sheets into a lasagne dish: sauce, lasagne, sauce, lasagne and final sauce.
5

To make white sauce (purists would make a sauce béchamel) melt the butter, stir in flour and gradually stir in the milk. Heat on hob, stirring until thickened.
6

Pour white sauce over top level of lasagne sauce. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
7

Cook in pre-heated oven for 40 minutes and serve piping hot. A side salad is a nice accompaniment.

I use fresh, locally-sourced and seasonal ingredients wherever possible and seek to avoid food waste with my “Use-up” recipes. #WastenotWantnotMy wife and I love travelling and exploring different cuisines but never under-estimate traditional British cooking: every country has something to offer, including in the field of home cooking.
