Method

Preheat oven 180 C fan forced.

  1. Microwave vegetables, except mushrooms in a little water on high for 8 minutes, drain.
  2. Stir mushrooms, garlic and crushed tomatoes into cooked vegetables. Pepper to taste. Leave mix to one side.
  3. Combine cottage cheese, basil, ⅓ cup parmesan cheese and tomato paste in a medium size mixing bowl.
  4. Coat a lasagne dish with cooking spray, spread ⅓ of vegetable mixture over base. Top with 2 lasagne sheets, spread ½ of vegetable mix on top, cover with ½ of cottage cheese mixture. Repeat this again.
  5. Sprinkle extra parmesan cheese evenly over top. Place a layer of baking paper over a sheet of foil then baking paper side down cover top of lasagne. This will help avoid cheese from sticking.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, remove foil, cook a further 5-10 minutes until cheese is golden brown.
