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.

    I have made this a few times now and it always impresses. I have tried it with king prawns and bacon and both were delicious. I think it is tastier than traditional lasagne.

    Very easy to make. Very light and tasty. I had some leftover and it reheated well.

    Used green and yellow courgettes cut into ribbons. Finished dish was really colourful as well as really tasty!

    Think this recipe has great potential. I stuck to the recipe, but had a few issues (mainly because I was in a rush!) As I tried to pre-cook the lasagne sheets (which I've never done before for cooking a lasagne) I found that they were stuck together after cooking and even running under cold water and adding the oil at the end didn't help - next time I will either buy fresh lasagne sheets or use them uncooked and leave it longer in the oven as others have suggested. I also think for my personal taste it needed a bit more of the tomato sauce to balance the dish - but everyone will have their own preference on the balance. I will certainly try this dish again and might add some bacon or prawns next time.

    Yummy!! Rated it a 5 because I adapted this recipe for the ingredients I had to hand; didn't have any ricotta so just made the usual white cheesy sauce for lasagne and used homemade tomato suace instead of a jar. Soaking the lasagne sheets was brill. - have experienced crispy pasta sheets on the corners before now - not nice. My eldest boy who doesn't like veg thought it was great and would have it again - another good result! Hadn't thought of making a courgette lasagne before, it helped to use up a glut of courgettes from the garden and I'll need to make it again next week to make the best of a bumper crop this year!

    It was a lovely evening, we made it with my girlfriends from university together and ate it while watching Sex and the city! Since then, I have been telling everyone about how easy, delicious and fun it was. We also added carrots to the mix, it became a little sweet, but well balanced with tomato sauce.

    I added a bit of smoked bacon to the recipe too, everyone loved it so it will be made many more times and I'm even going to do it for friends next week.

    With an August glut of courgettes, this is a welcome addition to my repertoire, but I would suggest that after gratting the courgettes, you sprinkle with a little salt, then put them on a clean tea towel, roll into a sausage shape & squeeze out the excess moisture, otherwise there is far too much liquid. I used a homemade tomato sauce too (including basil from the garden). Pretty good, & will do again.

    I was given some courgettes and looked on the internet for courgette recipes and was signposted to this website. I chose this recipe; it was easy to follow and the dish came out just like the picture and was very tasty. I have now signed up and look forward to trying other recipes.

    I made this last night and it is delicious! Unfortunately I didn't have any cheddar in the fridge so used parmesan instead and it worked really well. My boyfriend (who usually doesn't like anything without meat) really enjoyed it. Looks like its going to be a weekly treat!

    wow, this was delicious. I used home grown courgettes and added mushrooms and some small chilli peppers - also couldn't get ricotta in my local Tesco Express so I used extra light garlic and herb philadelphia. I made it on Sunday morning to have mid week but we ended up having it on Sunday because it looked so good

    Lovely recipe. Can anyone tell me where I went wrong. The dish was more watery than creamy.

    Turned out really well. Simple and quick to make. I too used mascarpone instead of ricotta, and it was lovely and creamy.

    Really easy and yummy and a great way to get rid of the courgette glut. To hide the courgette from my children I added a few diced chorizo bits (they needed using up) and it was lovely.
