  1. LEKKER LASAGNE SAUCE

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion, the peppers, and the carrot until turning golden, 5-6 minutes. Add the NOMU rub and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Pour in the tomato passata and 150ml of water. Simmer until thickening, 10-12 minutes. In the final 3-5 minutes, add the rinsed lentils. Remove from the heat, add a sweetener, and season.

  2. PREP STEP

    When the pot of salted water is boiling, add the lasagne sheets. Cook until al dente, 6-8 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pot and immediately place in a bowl of cold water. Once cooled, drain on a clean tea towel in a single layer - don't pile them up as they will stick together! Reserve the pasta water.

  3. BECHAMEL

    Place a pot over medium heat with 30g of butter. Once melted, vigorously whisk in the flour to form a roux. Cook out until lightly golden, 1-2 minutes (stirring constantly). Slowly whisk in the milk until the sauce thickens. If the béchamel is too thick for your liking, add the reserved pasta water until saucy consistency. Remove from the heat and season.

  4. LAYERS OF FLAVOUR

    Cover the base of an oven-proof dish in the saucy lentils. Top with a layer of the bechamel. Cover with a blanched lasagna sheet. Repeat the layers until all components have been used up, making sure the final layer is saucy. Top with the cheese. Bake in the hot oven until the cheese is melted, 10-12 minutes.

  5. SOME FRESHNESS

    In a bowl, combine the shredded salad leaves, the sliced olives, and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to coat and season.
