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 made this for my vege sister, it went down really well and was really easy and cheap to make. I was nervous about the courgettes but with them being grated it was fine.

    Just tasted like it was missing something, I would try it again with maybe spinach, extra cheese and some pesto added to the ricotta mix.

    Fab - loved it. I put a punnet of halved cherry tomatoes on the top and drizzled with basil oil before it went in the oven. Next time I am going to put lots of chopped mint in the courgette mix; I think that would work really well.

    Made this last night and I think it was really good. It will be very useful when courgettes are in glut in the summer. I'm sure you could cook it and freeze, I'd just leave the cheddar until you are reheating to serve. I used fresh lasagne sheets but next time I would use dried and just cook it for 30-40 mins. Also as my courgettes were quite dry so when making this recipie again with fresh young courgettes I'd add some creme fraiche perhaps or extra tomato sauce.

    This was very quick to make up and was ideal for an evening when I had nothing ready for dinner. We are a regular meat eating family but every scrap of this was eaten. Even my teenage son, who won't eat anything unless it's "beige" ate every mouthful. A big hit and definitely to be made again. Who'd of thought my family would eat courgettes! I used fresh pasta this time because it was quicker, I will be trying it with boxed lasagne sheets that don't need pre cooking next time and perhaps add a little water to the pasta sauce to stop it drying out with the longer cooking time needed.

    Nice, I grew some yellow courgettes this year so added one of those for colour. Made my own sauce with tin of tomatoes and heaps of basil. Good mid week dish, will make again.

    This is one of the tastier ways to tackle the courgette mountain. However if you are a flavour freak like me, it needs considerably more cheese! I used a combination of Cheddar and Lancashire (about 150grams). I also used "no cook lasagne" to avoid the faff and cooked the whole thing for a bit longer. I always rate veggie recipes according to approval by my carnivore husband...and this one got the thumbs up!

    Yep, it's good....but needs about 3 times more cheese...I used about 150grams of Cheddar and Lancashire( any would do). I also used no cook pasta and cooked the whole thing for 40 mins or so. Veggie recipes in our house have to pass the taste taste by my carnivore husband and this one got the thumbs up!! A good one to help tackle the courgette mountain!
