How to make vegetable lasagna

  2. Now take a pan, pour in a generous drizzle of oil and, when it is hot, add the onion and let it brown .
  3. Then add carrots and courgettes and cook for a few minutes, adding water as needed .
  4. Then add the mushrooms and, when the vegetables are cooked, add the cherry tomatoes.
  5. Give them a stir and let them cook over a low heat, then wait for the filling to dry , add salt and remove from the heat.
  6. Now prepare the béchamel . Start mixing the melted butter with the flour in a saucepan until you obtain a slightly colored roux .
  7. At this point slowly add the milk, continuing to mix with the whisk to prevent lumps from forming .
  8. When the béchamel has thickened ( it will take a few minutes but we recommend leaving it slower, as it will cook a second time in the oven) add nutmeg and salt to taste, then turn off the heat and start assembling the lasagne .
  9. Take a rectangular pan and dirty the base with a spoonful of béchamel sauce, then start with the first layer of pasta, followed by a layer of béchamel sauce.
  10. Add a nice layer of vegetables, a handful of grated cheese and cover with a layer of pasta.
  11. Continue layering in this way, finishing with pasta, béchamel and a generous sprinkling of grated cheese.
  12. At this point it's time to put the first vegetarian in the oven. Cook at 180°C for 30-35 minutes . For the last 5 minutes, put it in grill mode to create a nice toasted crust on the surface and complete with a nice sprinkling of fresh parsley before serving.
