Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 3 Bell Peppers (, diced (2-3 cups))
- 2 Medium Onions (, minced (2 cups))
- 2 Large Celery Stalks (, finely diced (1 cup))
- 2 Zucchinis (, diced (6 cups))
- 3 tablespoons Double Concentrated Tomato Puree
- 1 can Plum Tomatoes ((14-ounces/400 milliliters))
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Dried Basil
- 1 tablespoon Dried Oregano
- 1 ounce Butter (, see note 2)
- 1/3 cup All-Purpose Flour (, see note 3)
- 1.5 cups Milk
- ½ cups Half and Half (, see note 4)
- Pinch of Black Pepper
- Pinch of Salt
- Cheese ( of your choice, see note 5)
- 10 Lasagna Sheets (, see note 6)
Instruction
- In a large pot (at least 5-quart/5 liters), heat the oil and add in chopped peppers, onions, celery and zucchini. Sauté for 10 minutes, stirring from time to time.
- Preheat the oven to 400° Fahrenheit/200° Celsius (this would also be time for pre-soaking lasagna sheets, if using such).
- Make white sauce by melting butter in a small sauce pan. Stir in flour and pour in milk and half and half while stirring constantly. Bring to a boil. Reduce and simmer until the sauce thickens. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- When the veggies are ready, add tomato puree, plum tomatoes (crushed with a wooden spoon), salt, pepper, basil and oregano to the pot. Mix until well combined. Cook for a further 5 minutes. When ready turn off.
- Get an oven proof dish (see note 9) and cover the bottom with lasagna sheets. Spread a good layer of white sauce over and top this with 1/3 of the veggies mixture. Repeat the process 2 more times. Cover the last layer of veggies with a layer of lasagna sheets and top with cheese.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400° Fahrenheit/200° Celsius for 30 minutes or until the sheets are soft, veggies cooked, and cheese turns nice golden brown.
- When ready, take the lasagna out from the oven and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!
