CRUNCHY SEEDS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
MMMOROCCAN MINCE
Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Return the pan to medium heat. Fry the Onion until it turns golden, 3-4 minutes. Add in the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the spice blend and the chermoula paste. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the cooked chopped Tomato and 150ml [300ml]|#7DA0D7 of water. Simmer until thickened, 10-12 minutes. Remove from the heat, add a sweetener (to taste), and season.
PREP STEP
When the pot of salted water is boiling, add the lasagne sheets - 4 sheets at a time. 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. Cut the lasagne layers into thick ribbons and toss through a drizzle of olive oil. Reserve the pasta water.
BEGIN THE BECHAMEL
Place a pot over medium heat with 20g [40g]|#7DA0D7 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 a saucy consistency. Remove from the heat and season.
LAYER THE LASAGNE
If your pan is not oven-proof, transfer the saucy mince to a baking dish. Dollop ¾ of the béchamel sauce over the mince and mix it slightly, creating a marble effect. Gently mix the lasagne ribbons through the saucy mince. Top with the remaining bechamel sauce and cheese. Bake in the hot oven until the cheese is melted, 10-12 minutes.
SIMPLE SALAD
In a bowl, combine the salad leaves, the peppers, ½ the pumpkin seeds, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season and set aside.
LIP-SMACKING LASAGNA
Dish up a heaped helping of the lasagna alongside the fresh salad. Garnish with the remaining seeds. Tuck in, Chef!
