How To Make Hairy Bikers Roasted Vegetable Lasagne Recipe

1. Roast the vegetables: Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C Fan). Chop the courgettes, peppers, and onion. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.
2. Make the tomato sauce: While vegetables roast, heat oil in a pan and sauté garlic for 1 minute. Add chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, and oregano. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
3. Make the white sauce: In another saucepan, melt butter and stir in flour to make a roux. Gradually whisk in milk and cook until thick. Add nutmeg, cheddar, and Parmesan, stirring until melted.
4. Combine vegetables and sauce: Stir the roasted vegetables into the tomato sauce.
5. Assemble the lasagne: In a large baking dish, layer vegetable sauce, lasagne sheets, and white sauce. Repeat to create three layers, ending with white sauce on top.
6. Bake the lasagne: Bake at 200°C for 35-40 minutes until golden and bubbling. Let rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
