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.

    My kids loved this dish and they are not that easy to please! I cooked the courgettes, onion & garlic first then blended it and put it back on hob adding Lloyd Grossman's Tomato and Mascarpone Pasta Sauce.

    I have made this twice now and both times it was delicious. I asked my sister round to taste it which she didn't want to do as she said that she didn't like courgettes - well she liked this and took the rest home to feed her family. It's great this time of year when courgettes are being given away by friends. I did lose my temper with the lasagne sheets as they stuck together

    You know it's a great dish when hubby, who's not a great fan of courgette and tomatoes, and the 2 yr olds gobble it up and ask for more. And we're not vegetarians. Delicious, will definitely make again.

    Can anyone tell me if this would be sutitable for freezing? I have lots of courgettes that I need to use and I'd like to make some dishes and freeze them for the months to come, but not sure because of the cheese...same goes for the tomato and courgette gratin?

    I couldn't get Ricotta so used mozzarella instead and some parmesan on top. Excellent!

    Made this last night. I did not pre-cook lasagne sheets, just made it up and put it in the oven for 30 mins. Absolutely delicious! Will try variations next time, bacon sounds good!

    This is a lovely dish but I found a lot of liquid comes out of the courgettes, when they're with the onions so drain well. I also put some Dolcelatte in and this makes it really tasty.

    Absolutely gorgeous! I used an Arrabiata pasta sauce which had a hint of chilli, and also added some wilted spinach to the courgettes - It sure was a party for my tastebuds!

    Very easy and very tasty - and the leftovers heated up well in the microwave after 2 days in the fridge. A nice alternative to meat.

    I give this recipe a 5* rating. Its a great lasagne, good for using up a glut of courgettes. It took much longer to make than the time stated. I tend not to cook the lasagne first - just put it straight into the oven. I've cooked this for lots of friends and everyone loves it.

    As suggested used fresh lasagne and added some bacon and a couple of mushrooms to the courgettes. I also added a few pine nuts which added texture to the dish. Really tasty and will make again soon.

    My husband made this - it took a lot longer than 10 mins to prepare. But really was worth it. We made our own tomato sauce. As I'm quite a cheese fan I'd up the amount of cheese next time. Really enjoyed this and will add it to our list of interesting veggie meals!

    This recipe is great it's become a regular mid week meal for us. Added chilli flakes to the pasta sauce last night - yum! In the past I have successfully frozen the leftovers.

    I made this on a Sunday afternoon, to keep for a mid week meal, when i have little time, I have 3 small children,who are picky about anything green and they loved it.My 6yr old had seconds. TIP:Instead of cooking the lasagne noodles, just let them sit in a shallow pan of warm tap water, they will be easily pliable when it comes time to assemble the lasagne.
