Lasagne recipe?

If we have a meet in Nottingham, then I'll cook you all lasagne! (gluten free of course)

Or simply replace the mince with green or brown lentils and add finely chopped mushrooms, peppers and courgettes. Lentils make surprisingly good lasagne. I think they go really well with the sauce.

Just to clarify (since a friend asked me the other day and incase anyone who's not made it before was wondering) it's bolognaise layer, pasta layer, sauce layer. In that order. It's nice if there're 2 layers of everything, topped with grated cheese.

So does it then go bolognese layer on top of the sauce layer, or is there pasta in between?

The lentils replace your meat completely or you can add cooked lentils to your mince to make it stretch further.

Bolognaise, pasta, cheese sauce, bolognaise, pasta, cheese sauce, grated cheese. No layer of pasta on top of cheese sauce. That's how I do it anyway.

Edit: Just found a recipe on net that says bolognaise, white sauce then pasta, then bolognaise, so I guess as long as the sauce is next to the pasta it's down to personal preference!

I guess the double pasta method makes it firmer when lifting out of the dish? But then it also makes it firmer on the waistline so maybe best for me to avoid at moment!
