This smoked tofu lasagna is packed with proteins and the last of our garden summer vegetables.

Ingredients
- 400 g courgettes – cut in 1cm dice
- 400 g aubergines – cut in 1cm dice
- 400 g cherry tomatoes – halved
- 1 pepper – cut in 1cm dice
- 1 red onion – cut in 1cm dice
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary – chopped roughly
- 2 tsp golden sugar
- 5 Tbsp olive oil
- 750 g tomato sauce
- 400 g smoked tofu
- 300 g lasagna sheets
- 600 ml milk
- 50 g butter
- 40 g plain flour
- 250 g ricotta
- 40 g vegetarian parmesan style cheese – plus extra for sprinkling
- fresh grated nutmeg
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4.
- In a roasting tray mix together the courgettes, aubergines, pepper, cherry tomatoes, red onion, thyme, rosemary, sugar and olive oil. Toss until vegetables are coated all over.
- Roast in the oven for 40-45mins until the vegetables are soft and brown. Toss once or twice while vegetables are cooking.
- In the meantime make the cheese sauce. In a saucepan put the milk, butter and flour together. Bring to a boil while whisking until you have a thick and glossy sauce. Remove from heat. Add ricotta cheese and parmesan. Mix until well blended. Season to taste with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
- In a separate bowl scramble the drained smoked tofu with a fork.
- Once the vegetables are ready, start laying together the lasagna.
- Place one layer of lasagna sheets at the bottom of a large lasagna dish. Add 1/3 of the roasted vegetables topped by 1/3 of the tomato sauce, topped by 1/3 of the scrambled smoked tofu, topped by 1/3 of cheese sauce.
- Top this first layer with 1 layer of lasagna sheets plus 1/3 of the roasted vegetables topped by 1/3 of the tomato sauce, topped by 1/3 of the scrambled smoked tofu, topped by 1/3 of cheese sauce.
- Top this second layer with 1 layer of lasagna sheets plus 1/3 of the roasted vegetables topped by 1/3 of the tomato sauce, topped by 1/3 of the scrambled smoked tofu.
- Top this third layer with 1 layer of lasagna sheets plus 1/3 of cheese sauce.
- Sprinkle some grated parmesan on top. Cook for 40mins until golden (to check the lasagna is cooked insert a knife into it. The pasta should be soft).
