Indulge in a flavorful beef lasagne packed with pumpkin, zucchini, and rich bechamel sauce for a veggie-filled twist.
Ingredients:
  • 400g butternut pumpkin, cut into 4mm-thick slices
  • 2 zucchini, thinly sliced lengthways
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 500g 3 Star Beef Mince
  • 500g jar tomato pasta sauce
  • 1 small yellow capsicum, seeded, finely chopped
  • 62.50 ml basil, chopped
  • 490g jar bechamel sauce
  • 6 fresh lasagne sheets
  • 100g pizza cheese
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 200C. Grease a large frying pan with oil and heat over high heat. Sear pumpkin and zucchini in batches for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Transfer the veggies to a baking tray.
  • Heat oil in a large deep frying pan over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until softened. Add mince and cook until no longer pink. Stir in pasta sauce and water, bring to a boil, then simmer until slightly thickened. Finish by adding capsicum and basil.
  • Layer the ovenproof dish starting with half of the meat mixture, followed by half of the pumpkin and half of the zucchini. Drizzle ¼ cup (60ml) of bechamel sauce over the vegetables. Place 3 lasagne sheets on top, cutting them to fit. Add the remaining meat mixture, pumpkin, zucchini, and ¼ cup (60ml) of the bechamel sauce. Finish with the remaining lasagne sheets, the rest of the bechamel sauce, and a sprinkle of cheese.
  • Bake until golden and heated through, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
