Ingredients
  

  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 2-3 spring onions finely sliced
  • 400g (14 oz) tinned / canned tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon red lentils
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • handful fresh basil
  • 200g (7 oz) mozzarella sliced
  • 6 sheets lasagne dry or fresh
  • 75g (2½ oz) cheddar cheese grated

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over a low heat and add the spring onions and garlic. Fry for 2-3 minutes until soft but not coloured.
  • Add the tin of tomatoes and a tin’s worth of water (400ml), red lentils, oregano and season with a little salt and some black pepper.
  • Bring to a simmer and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Check and stir after 15 minutes, as the lentils can stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Preheat the oven to 170˚C/340˚F.
  • In a 20cm x 27cm ovenproof dish, spoon half the sauce into the dish and spread out to cover the base.
  • Lay 2 sheets lasagne over the sauce, then sprinkle over half the mozzarella, one third of the grated cheese, and a few torn basil leaves.
  • Lay another 2 sheets of lasagne on this, then top with the rest of the tomato lentil sauce, 2 more sheets of lasagne, the rest of the mozzarella, grated cheese and basil.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, until lightly golden.
