Veggie lasagne for courgette aubergine and peppers

[Elmo]

Dead easy to make: 2 courgettes (doubles up to use a glut of these too)
1 Aubergine (a big one like supermarket size)
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 large onion
Chop everything up into nice big chunks pop in a pan with a clove of garlic and some olive oil fry gently then add a jar (this is the very easy method) of pasta sauce (my favourite is dolmio extra spicy) and cook till the veggies soften. Then quite simply put a layer in your dish then a layer of lasagne sheets cover with white sauce (also avalible in a jar). Then another layer of veggies then more pasta and more white sauce sprinkle some grated mozzarella over the top and to make it extra special grate the crust of a brown loaf over it (It will make the top go crunchy and lovely). Shove it in the oven on about 150 - 170 till it bubbles and the cheese browns. Serve with garlic bread and some of your home grown salad. Fantastic eaten on the patio!!!

I'm growing Black enorma as well got a bit giddy when planting the seeds and have now got twenty plants, going to rehome some this week

Thanks for the recipe Elmo. In case you haven't thought of it I always keep a box of grated bread crumbs in the freezer then they're ready to use just when you want them.

No I hadn't thought of that great idea, don't they all stick together?

My tip for veggie lasagne is to roast a butternut squash in the oven, mush it up on the bottom as your 1st layer then start layering up your veggie mix and pasta sheets above that. It gives it a wonderful sweet roasty flavour mmmm...

Thanks for that Amybee. Sounds good and will give it a try. Elmo, the breadcrumbs will not stick together. Just grate all the old bread, put it in a poly box and stick it in the freezer. Comes out free flow. Just take the amount you require by the spoonful and put the rest back for when you want it. Honest!
