Would it even be a pasta week without a delicious lasagna dish? We think NOT!

This ratatouille lasagna is packed with vegetables and a healthy cheese sauce that is just SO tasty! You guys have to try this recipe – it’s perfect when having people over but also on a cosy night in.

Ingredients

For the sauce

1 aubergine

1 zucchini

3 peppers (green, red, yellow)

200ml tomato sauce

Cheese sauce

200g ricotta cheese

Handful of fresh basil leaves

Fresh Thym

1 egg

For the pasta

Wholewheat Lasagna sheets

Method 

Pre-heat your oven to 190°.

Put your lasagna sheets in boiling water for 5 mins one by one to avoid them getting stuck to one another.

Cut your vegetables into cubes and transfer them into a frying pan. There is no need to cook them in oil as they are full of water and will cook in their own juices.

Once they start melting add the tomato sauce, cover and let cook on medium heat for 15 mins.

In the meantime mix all the ingredients for the cheese sauce and add salt and pepper.

On a lasagna tray, start by a layer of lasagna sheets, followed by a layer of cooked vegetables, followed by a layer of lasagna sheet and a layer of the ricotta mixture. Build it up until the top where you will finish with a layer of ricotta mixture and shredded mozzarella.

Put in the oven for 35-40 mins.

An ABSOLUTE TREAT 😉.

50ml tomato sauce

1 garlic clove

1 tbsp harissa

For the pasta

Method 

Cut your aubergine in half and put it in a pan with boiling water for 5 mins.

Get it out and cut it into 3 cm cubes. Transfer into a frying pan.

Cook on medium heat and add your tomato sauce and garlic clove while stirring frequently.

Cook and let simmer for about 10 mins until the aubergines get soft.

Mid-way through the week and we are treating ourselves to this cosy, delicious and super healthy pesto pasta!

The creaminess comes from the avocado and gives the sauce such a great texture that we can assure you will L-O-V-E!

Ingredients

For 1 person

For the sauce

1/2 avocado

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 squeezed lemon juice

15 cl milk

Handful spinach

Handful fresh basil leaves

Handful pine nuts (about 15g)

1 garlic clove

Salt and pepper

For the pasta

85g cooked wholewheat pasta

Method

In a food processor, combine all the ingredients for the sauce. You can also add about 30g parmesan for extra taste.

Cook your pasta according to instructions. Once ready just blend in your pesto sauce.

You can also cook plum tomatoes with pine nuts in garlic and 1 tbsp olive oil and add on top of your dish!

Super simple, 10 mins to make and delicious 😋.

Also note that the “normal” pesto contains so much olive oil/cheese and is therefore so high in calories, therefore this is a great and tasty alternative to your usual pesto sauce! Guilt-free :).

Until the next recipe,
