Method

  1. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Put a pan of water on to boil, then cook the lasagne sheets for about 5 mins until softened, but not cooked through. Rinse in cold water, then drizzle with a little oil to stop them sticking together.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan, then fry the onion. After 3 mins, add the courgettes and garlic and continue to fry until the courgette has softened and turned bright green. Stir in 2/3 of both the ricotta and the cheddar, then season to taste. Heat the tomato sauce in the microwave for 2 mins on High until hot.
  3. In a large baking dish, layer up the lasagne, starting with half the courgette mix, then pasta, then tomato sauce. Repeat, top with blobs of the remaining ricotta, then scatter with the rest of the cheddar. Bake on the top shelf for about 10 mins until the pasta is tender and the cheese is golden.

    This lasagne is really delicious with the courgettes and very easy to make. I'll definitely be making it again!

    Very filling and easy. I used ready-to-go lasagne sheets from the fridge section of the supermarket to make this an even quicker dish to prepare.

    This is a fabulous, speedier alternative to a meat lasagne. Just as tasty too and even better with homegrown courgettes.

    I have made this a few times now and enjoy it every time. The second time I made it I substituted ricotta for mascarpone, it was lovely and creamy, last week I made it again and fried some chopped bacon and added that to the courgette mixture.

    I made this dish, it was nice but the apperance did not look like a lasagne and i had to leave it to cook for 45 mins not 10 mins. Did anyone else find this?Any tips?

    Delicious! Recommend fresh lasagna which tastes much nice and no risk of them sticking together. FOR BIJAL: Should not have taken you 45 minutes as it should be virtually cooked when you put it in the oven, the 10 mins to just to give it a bit extra and make sure its hot. If you use fresh lasagna, the lasagna will be fully cooked when you put it in and so you're only heating it through.

    I thought this was excellent - and much tastier than I'd anticipated. I choose not to pre-cook the ingredients and simply put it straight in the oven. It took 45 minutes to cook, but cut down my preparation time, which I liked!

    This was a tasty alternative to a meat lasagne. I used home-made tomato sauce as I'm not a fan of bottled sauces. I also cooked and assembled this the night before, and didn't precook the lasagne sheets. It went into the oven for 30 mins and came out perfectly.

    Really nice dish and really easy to prepare, however I sliced the courgettes rather than grated them and kept them slightly crunchy.

    Brilliant dish. Next time I may add some ribbons of courgette as well as the grated to give another texture. I made my own tomato sauce which didn't take long, this probably cut the price down a bit. This was my first time making lasagna and when I cooked my sheets they stuck together so I had to cook so more. But I shall certainly be learning from my mistakes.

    Delicious! I used half grated courgettes and half sliced, also added some fried mushrooms, used a 500g jar of Sainsburys pasta sauce with mushrooms, used fresh lasagne sheets, and it was great. We are vegetarian during the week, use fish and occasionally meat at the weekends. But if you want to feed vegetarian friends, please give them this - they will love it!

    FANTASTIC! This was so gorgeous, easy to make and got the thumbs up from all the family. It was as good, if not better, than the meat version at my favourite Italian restaurant. I did it with dried pasta and put a little extra cheddar cheese on top and didn't bake it immediately after I'd assembled, it but it only took about 35-40 mins. Can't wait to have it again.

    Absolutely delicious and very quick to make. Great for a mid-week meal. I actually preferred this to the normal meat lasgna. The boyfriend was a bit dubious about courgette lasgna but he absolutely loved it too. I added bacon and mushrooms to the courgette mix just to give it a bit more flavour and that worked brilliantly. I will definitely be making this again and what's great is you can try out so many variations. I might top it with mozarella next time to make it a bit more cheesy and might also leave some chunks of courgettes in as well as the grated bits just to give it a bit more texture.
