HEALTHY LOW FAT LASAGNA
I altered the ingredients to make a lasagna for the more health-conscious. My boyfriend is not a health freak but LOVED this dish. Very easy to freeze leftovers and just pop back in the oven for 1.5 hours when you want to have it again for dinner. Let me know what you think! --_^

LOW-FAT MEATY LASAGNA
No ricotta or cottage cheese here! A creamy béchamel and plenty of Parmesan cheese round out this hefty, meaty lasagna that doesn't taste, look or feel _light_ or diet-ish. From the 2008 edition of The Best of America's Test Kitchen cookbook - they did all the tweaking and testing for me! Note - no precooking of the lasagna noodles needed!

Steps:
- Meat Sauce:.
- Place the carrots, mushrooms and garlic in the food processor and pulse until finely chopped - 10 pulses or so. Transfer to a bowl.
- Add tomatoes with juice to the food processor and pulse till smooth - about 5 pulses. Set aside.
- In a large Dutch oven or equivalent, combine 1 teaspoon olive oil, minced onion, salt and pepper. Cover and cook over medium heat until onion is soft, 3-4 minutes. Add the carrot/mushroom/garlic mixture and cook, uncovered, until the mushrooms release their liquid, 5-7 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and cook another 3-5 minutes or until liquid evaporates.
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook until it begins to brown, 2 minutes or so. Stir in the turkey and 1 cup of milk. Cook, using a spoon to break up meat, until most of the milk has evaporated, 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the tomatoes, 1 cup of broth and the bay leaf. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened and most of the liquid has evaporated, 45-60 minutes.
- Remove from heat, discard bay leaf and stir in the basil. Add more salt and pepper if needed.
- Bechamel (white sauce):.
- Whisk the remaining 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of broth and flour together in a medium saucepan until smooth. Bring the mix to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and the Parmesan cheese.
- Heat oven to 425F and adjust rack to upper-middle position.
- Spread 2 cups of the meat sauce in a 13 by 9-inch baking pan. Lay 3 noodles atop sauce. Repeat layers 3 more times, ending with noodles. Spread white sauce evenly on the top layer of noodles, leaving a 1-inch border around the sides.
- Bake until lasagna is bubbling around the edges and the top is beginning to brown, 25-30 minutes. Cool on wire rack for 20 minutes before serving.
- Make Ahead: The meat sauce and white sauce can be made and refrigerated up to 2 days. Reheat both before assembling lasagna.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the aubergine, courgette, pepper and onion in a large, shallow roasting tin. Scatter with the chilli flakes and season with pepper and a pinch of salt. Pour the oil over, toss together to coat (you can use your hands for this), then spread the vegetables out in a single layer. Roast for 15 mins, then give them a stir and spread them out again. Roast for another 10-15 mins until softened and turning golden.
- While the vegetables are roasting, make the tomato sauce. Tip the tomatoes into a medium pan, then pour 100ml water into the empty can, swirl it round and pour into the saucepan. Add the carrot and garlic, and simmer gently for 20-25 mins, partly covered with the lid and stirring occasionally, until the carrot is just tender. Stir in the tomato purée and the lentils, season with pepper and simmer for 2 mins more. Remove from the heat, stir in the basil and set aside.
- Tip the spinach into a large heatproof bowl, pour over boiling water, press the leaves into the water and leave for 30 secs. Drain in a large colander and rinse under cold water briefly to cool it down quickly. Squeeze the spinach to remove the excess water, then roughly chop. Beat the egg in a bowl and stir in the ricotta, oregano, nutmeg and some pepper.
- Lay the lasagne sheets, spread well out, in a large shallow roasting tin and pour boiling water over to cover. Move them around with a wooden spoon to make sure they aren't sticking, then leave for 5 mins. ('No pre-cook' lasagne sheets benefit from a brief soaking, which improves the texture and makes them more pliable for layering in the dish.) Drain well and immediately separate them out to prevent them sticking.
- When the vegetables have finished roasting, lower the heat to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Spread a very thin layer of the tomato sauce (about 2 big spoonfuls) over the bottom of an ovenproof dish, about 25 x 18 x 7cm deep and 2 litres capacity. Lay 3 lasagne sheets across the width of the dish and spread over half of the remaining sauce and half of the roasted vegetables. Cover with 3 more lasagne sheets, then spread the spinach over the top and season with pepper. Put the ricotta mixture on top in spoonfuls and spread out over the spinach. Cover with the last 3 lasagne sheets. Spread over the rest of the tomato sauce and then the remaining roasted vegetables. Scatter over the mozzarella and Parmesan to cover the vegetables and sauce as much as possible, then top with the cherry tomatoes. Season with pepper and lay a piece of foil loosely over the top. Can be made up to a day ahead and chilled - allow an extra few mins when baking the next day. Or freeze for up to 1 month and thaw overnight in the fridge.
- Bake for 35 mins, then remove the foil and bake for a further 5-10 mins until everything is bubbling around the edges. Scatter with oregano and basil leaves, and serve with a green salad.
