Mediterranean open lasagne

This recipe is quicker and easier to assemble than standard lasagne, so it’s an ideal speedy midweek meal. The cooked aubergines add an earthy flavour and meaty texture that works well in place of the usual minced beef.

Pre-heat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Toss the red onions, aubergines, peppers and sun-dried tomatoes in the oil, to coat. Stir in the mixed herbs and black pepper. Put in a roasting tin, cover with foil and cook in the oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and cook, uncovered, for another 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the white sauce. Mix the cornflour with a splash of the milk and the mustard, in a pan, until smooth, then add the rest of the milk. Bring to the boil, stirring continuously. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. Add the cheese. Take off the heat and stir.

Cut each sheet of lasagne into 4 and add to a pan of boiling water. Simmer for 4 minutes, then drain.
