Sweet Potato And Ricotta Lasagna

Sweet Potato And Ricotta Lasagna


1. Preheat oven to 180°C.

2. To make bechamel, melt butter in a pan over low heat.

3. Stir in flour and cook for one minute.

4. Remove from heat, add bay leaves and nutmeg and gradually stir in milk - I use a whisk from here.

5. Return to low heat and keep whisking and stirring for about 5 minutes, should thicken nicely. Put aside, season and remove bay leaves.

6. Now heat oil in a large frypan and add onion and garlic.

7. Cook over med heat about 2 minutes, then add sweet potato. Cook another 3 minutes.

8. Add mushrooms, oregano and zucchini and cook another 5 minutes til veggies are just softening. Remove from heat and add tomatoes and paste.

9. To assemble, place half the veggie mix in the bottom of a large shallow oven dish. ( I used a 26cm x 20cm dish, 5cm deep and it was only just big enough! ).

10. Top with 1/3 lasagna sheets, cover with all the ricotta and 1/4 the parmesan.

11. Top with another 1/3 lasagna sheets, cover with other half veggies and 1/4 parmesan.

12. Top with rest of lasagna sheets, cover with the bechamel and rest of parmesan - make sure completely covered.

13. Bake for 45 minutes or until nicely golden and tender.

14. Serve with a big crunchy salad!
