TOMATOEY VEGGIES & LENTILS
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 diced carrot, and the sliced mushrooms until turning golden, 5-6 minutes. Add the NOMU rub and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Pour in the chopped tomato 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 (to taste), and season.
BLANCHED LASAGNE
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.
BEGIN THE 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.
LAYER UPON LAYER
Cover the base of an oven-proof dish in the saucy mushrooms. 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.
