Before you start

  • 1x large, deep non-stick frying pan with lid

Chop, chop!

  • Coarsely grate the carrots, then peel and finely dice the onions. Deseed and finely dice the peppers.

Time to fry

  • Spritz a large, deep, ovenproof non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a medium heat. Fry the carrots, onions, peppers and cumin seeds for 5-7 mins.

Soften the pasta

  • Add the spinach. Stir well and cook for 1 min, until the spinach wilts.
  • Tip in the lentils and their water. Squeeze in the curry sauce and pour in 300ml boiled water (400ml for 4 portions). Snap the lasagne sheets into pieces and drop them into the sauce.
  • Stir, then cover with a lid and simmer for 5-6 mins, until the pasta starts to soften.

Simmer your lasagne

  • Remove the lid and simmer for 8-10 mins, stirring and breaking up the pasta every so often until the sauce has thickened and the pasta is cooked.

Finish & serve

  • Finely chop the coriander and coarsely grate the cucumber. Add both to a bowl and mix with the yogurt.
  • Serve the lasagne jumble with the cucumber yogurt.
