Scruffy One-pan Lasagna

We recommend using a food processor to do the chopping in this full-of-veg one-pan pasta. It not only makes prep faster, it brings a satisfying textur...e. We have used crumbled tempeh to add protein to this dish, but if you like you could use minced beef or well-drained and crumbled tofu instead. Read more

Notes

To crumble your tofu drain it and place onto a plate. Press down using clean hands. You can also use some kitchen roll to absorb extra moisture. Then take your hands and crumble it up, shredding any large pieces, until it is all in small pieces.

Method

Your notes

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients. If you have a grill, preheat it to medium-high.

2

Heat the olive oil in a large, ovenproof pan. Add the onion, carrot, and celery with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for 4-5 minutes, until softened.

3

Add the cauliflower and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.

4

Add the garlic, sundried tomato paste, miso, paprika, and oregano. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until darkened and fragrant.

5

Add the tempeh, lentils, tomato passata, and water. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until reduced.

6

Add the spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Then stir through the tahini. Adjust seasoning to taste. You may need to add the spinach in several batches, allowing the leaves to wilt down before adding more.

7

Stir through the broken lasagne sheets. Lower the heat slightly, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, until the noodles are tender. Uncover every few minutes to stir. Stirring in the broken lasagne sheets may feel a little awkward - do your best to submerge them in the sauce. It will become easier as they soften.

8

Sprinkle with cheese. Place under the grill and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese melts. This step is optional. If you don’t have a grill you can simply grate cheese on the lasagna once it's been served.
