Method
Vegetable and lentil lasagne
- 1Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Oil four 1½-cup (375ml) ovenproof dishes.
- 2In a large pan of boiling water, cook lentils until just tender; drain.
- 3Meanwhile, heat half the oil in large pan; cook leek, chilli and garlic, stirring, until leek softens. Add tomato and paste; cook, stirring, until liquid is almost absorbed. Remove from heat; stir in lentils. Season to taste.
- 4Spoon 1 tbsp of the lentil mixture into each dish; cover with lasagne. Divide half the remaining lentil mixture among dishes; top with equal amounts of spinach then ricotta. Cover ricotta with lasagne; top each with remaining lentil mixture then sprinkle with feta.
- 5Bake in oven about 20 minutes or until heated through. Stand 5 minutes; sprinkle each lasagne with basil and drizzle with remaining oil.
