1. Video tutorial: Making pasta

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.

'The Creamy courgette lasagne was much tastier than I expected, and I'd definitely cook it again. I used a Loyd Grossman Tomato & garlic sauce, which worked well.'

  Very tasty and versitile - when no ricotta was available in the local shop, we used a mix of philadephia and marscapone that seemed to work well. Enjoy!

  I added celery with the onions and extra ricotta to make it extra creamy.

  Wonderfully tasty! I reduced the courgette by half and added aubergine and broccoli florets. This recipe is so easy I bothered to make my own sauce. The Simple Tomato Sauce Recipe works nicely with the lasagna. I can’t wait to make this again.

  Really delicious, so easy to make - I have made a few times now. I also add a bit of chopped bacon to the courgettes and onion. Not as heavy as the traditional lasagne, but still very tasty.

  I made this receipe last night with my son for the first time, it was delicious. I used a tub of Sainsburys fresh tomato and herb sauce and dried lasagne from a packet to avoid all that at the beginning and just cooked it for about 20 mins to make sure the pasta was cooked through. We had the full quantity between 3 of us and all plates were polished off. My son is taking this receipe off to university with him.

  This is one of those recipes that surprises you - it was much better than I expected. So much so that people who have tried it come back to get the recipe - even one hard-nosed non-vegetarian sneaked up to me and asked for it! Delicious and easy to prepare! A hit!

  I thought it was okay, maybe a little bland. My sceptical boyfriend was pleasantly surprised.. he's not into vegetables and veggie-stuff. I didn't have any cheddar so I have to test it again with cheddar.

  I need to try making this again because I used the Gordon Ramsay mushroom/marcarspone sauce and it had a very specific flavour that I don't think suited this dish (although it was a nice sauce). I think a plainer sauce would have suited better so will try that next time. Totally agree with previous comments that fresh pasta is the way to go: no pre-cooking required and so easy.
