Our tip

Try swapping the red pepper in this recipe for asparagus layers! This recipe is vegan, but for a vegetarian version, simply use regular pesto, cheese and lasagne sheets! 

Method:

  2. Pre-heat the over to 180°C (fan)/200°C electric/Gas Mark 6.

  3. Line a 20cm x 20cm deep baking dish with 3 lasagne sheets. Spoon one tablespoon of vegan pesto onto the pasta sheets and evenly spread.

  4. Top with 1/2 of the red pepper slices and 1/3 of the courgette slices.

  5. Pour over 1/3 of the tofu mixture. 

  6. Repeat using 3 lasagne sheets, one tablespoon of pesto, the remaining red pepper slices and a 1/3 of the courgette slices. Add the next 1/3 of tofu mixture.
