Herby Tomato & Lentil Bolognese Lasagne
with Homemade Béchamel Sauce
The rulebook has been thrown out the window with this one. We've swapped out mince for lentils to make the base of this herby tomato lasagne and topped it with a homemade béchamel sauce. You've heard it here first, it is so good, that we might just throw the rulebook out more often.

Instructions
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Grate carrot. • Drain and rinse lentils.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook carrot, stirring, until tender, 2-3 minutes. • Add lentils and tomato & herb seasoning and cook, stirring until fragrant, 1 minute.
• To pan, add diced tomatoes with onion & garlic, the brown sugar and water (for the red sauce), stirring occasionally, until thickened, 4-6 minutes. • Stir through baby spinach leaves until wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• While lentils are cooking, in a small saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat. • Add the plain flour and cook, stirring until a thick paste forms, 1-2 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium-low, then slowly whisk in the milk and water (for the white sauce) until smooth. Simmer, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat, then stir in Parmesan cheese. Season to taste.
• Spoon roughly 1/4 of the lentil filling into a baking dish, then top with a fresh lasagne sheet. Repeat with remaining filling and lasagne sheets. • Finish with a final lasagne sheet, then pour over the white sauce. • Bake lasagne, until golden, 20-25 minutes.
• Divide herby tomato and lentil bolognese lasagne between plates to serve. Enjoy
