Cooking Instructions
Ace the base!
- Peel the onions, deseed the pepper and finely dice both. Peel and crush the garlic.
- Spritz a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a medium heat. Fry the onions for 3-4 mins, then add the pepper, garlic and mince and cook for 3-4 mins, breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon, until browned.
Simmer the sauce
- Stir the herbs and tomato purée into the pan and cook for 1-2 mins, until the veg and mince are coated.
- Pour in the chopped tomatoes and 250ml water (350ml for 4 portions). Crumble in the stock, stir well and simmer for 8-10 mins (10-12 mins for 4 portions) until the sauce coats the mince.
Build your lasagne
- Meanwhile, heat your oven to 200ºC/fan 180ºC/gas 6.
- In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg (2 eggs for 4 portions – save the rest for another dish) into the yogurt.
- Spoon half the bolognese into a 20cm x 15cm ovenproof dish (30cm x 20cm for 4 portions). Cover with some lasagne sheets, then spoon in the remaining bolognese and cover with more pasta.
- Top the lasagne with the yogurt mixture and bake for 15 mins until golden.
Roast the broccoli
- At the same time, cut the broccoli into florets and put them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Spritz with cooking spray and roast for 10-15 mins.
Plate up
- Serve the lasagne with the charred broccoli.
