- 4 Carrots
- 1 stick Celery
- 0 Oil
- 3 tsp Salt
- 2 Courgettes
- 2 Peppers
- 200 g Mushrooms
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 cube Chicken Stock Cube
- 1 tsp Liquid Seasoning
- 1 tsp Mixed Herbs
- 1 tsp Chilli Powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 200 ml Passata
- 2 tbsp Tomato Puree
- 100 ml Chopped Tomatoes
- 2 bags Baby Spinach
- 2 Aubergines
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 3 tbsp Flour
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 pinch Mixed Herbs
- 1 pinch Ground Pepper
- 1 pinch Nutmeg
- 500 ml Milk
- 100 g Cheddar Cheese
- 100 g Mozzarella
- 50 g Parmesan
- 1 pack Lasagne Sheets

## Instructions

1. Finely dice onions, garlic, carrots, and celery. Caramelize/reduce in a pan with oil and salt on medium heat, adding splashes of water to prevent burning. Use a masher to help form a base. This takes 20-30 minutes.
2. Add chopped peppers and mushrooms, along with paprika, chicken stock cube, liquid seasoning, mixed herbs, chili powder, cumin, and pepper. Cook for 5-10 minutes.
3. Add passata, tomato puree, chopped tomatoes, and Parmesan rind. Add a cup of water and let the sauce reduce on medium-low heat for about an hour (longer is better).
4. Slice aubergines and pan-fry with salt and oil for 5 minutes per side on medium heat to get a char.
5. Chop and reduce spinach in a pan until the water evaporates (can be mixed into the béchamel).
6. For the béchamel, melt butter in a pan and add garlic powder, mixed herbs, and ground pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.
7. Add flour to the béchamel and cook until a paste forms. Gradually add milk while whisking, ensuring the flour is cooked off and the sauce thickens.
8. Off the heat, add cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan to the béchamel and mix well.
9. Layer the lasagne with the tomato sauce, lasagne sheets, béchamel, spinach, mozzarella, and aubergines. Repeat layers.
10. Bake at 190°C for 40 minutes, then broil/grill for 10 minutes.
