Ingredients

1tbsp olive oil

2 medium-sized onions, peeled and finely chopped

3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped

2tbsp tomato purée

3 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes

250g white cabbage

2 handfuls dried basil, leaves picked and roughly chopped

75g canned green lentils in water

250g half-fat crème fraiche

250g wholegrain lasagne sheets

50g grated half-fat cheddar cheese

Method

Step One

Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. To make the tomato sauce, heat the oil in a large saucepan and sauté the onions, garlic and tomato purée over a medium heat, stirring, for a couple of minutes.


Step Two

Add the tomatoes, rinsing out the tins with a little extra water to stir through the sauce. Simmer for 20 minutes.


Step Three

Discard the thick stem from the cabbage and roughly chop the leaves. Add to the sauce along with the basil and simmer for 5 minutes, then fold in the lentils and crème fraiche, and take off the heat.


Step Four

Scoop a thin layer of the tomato sauce into the bottom of a 20cm x 30cm baking tray.


Step Five

Add a layer of lasagne sheets, then a layer of tomato sauce and a sprinkling of grated cheese. Continue with lasagne sheets and repeat the layers until you run out of sheets and sauce. There should be a final layer of sauce with cheese on top.


Step Six

Place in the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the lasagne is golden and the sheets are soft. Serve with a large salad.


Step Seven

Enjoy!
