with Extra Parmesan Cheese
The rulebook has been thrown out the window with this one. We have done the unthinkable and swapped mince for cannellini beans to make the base of this herby tomato lasagne. You've heard it here first, it is so good, that we might just throw the rulebook out more often.

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Finely chop brown onion, celery and garlic. • Grate carrot. • Drain and rinse cannellini beans.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook onion, celery and carrot, tossing, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add cannellini beans, and garlic and tomato & herb seasoning and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 2 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium, then stir in passata, red wine jus, the brown sugar and water (for the veggies) and simmer, until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat and stir in baby spinach leaves, until wilted. Season with pepper.
• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the plain flour and cook, stirring, until a thick paste forms, 1-2 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium-low, then slowly whisk in the milk, and water (for the sauce) until smooth. Simmer, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat and stir in half the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon roughly 1/4 of the bean filling into a baking dish, then top with a fresh lasagne sheet. Repeat with remaining filling and lasagne sheets. • Finish with a final lasagne sheet, then pour over the white sauce. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. • Bake until golden, 20-25 minutes.
• Divide herby tomato cannellini bean lasagne between plates to serve. Enjoy!
