Cooking Instructions for making Use-up Vegetable Lasagne
Fry the onion and garlic to soften. Meanwhile, boil the carrots and beans.
Pre-heat oven to Gas Mark 5 or electric equivalent (Circotherm 160C)
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.
Later the sauce and lasagne sheets into a lasagne dish: sauce, lasagne, sauce, lasagne and final sauce.
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.
Pour white sauce over top level of lasagne sauce. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
Cook in pre-heated oven for 40 minutes and serve piping hot. A side salad is a nice accompaniment.
