Pam's famous roasted 
Vegetable Lasagne Recipe.

Mediterranean flavors, brought out by roasting the vegetables in the oven and the addition of smoky Spanish pimenton (smoked sweet paprika). 
Then a smooth creamy bechamel with cheddar cheese and parmesan.
Golden brown on top and baked to perfection.
Go ahead and try it for yourself, it's easy and simple to prepare.

Vegetable Lasagne Recipe Method

  1. Right - First heat your oven to 475ºf./240ºc. gas mark 9.
  2. Then pour the olive oil into a large roasting tray and arrange the aubergines, courgettes, onions and peppers in the bottom.
  3. Add the paprika and chilli, salt and pepper and mix well.
  4. Throw in the head of Garlic - skin and all.
  5. Roast the vegetables for about 30 - 40 minutes until golden brown, giving the tray a good shake every ten minutes or so. Remove from the oven.
  6. Take out the garlic - which will now be cooked through, and with the side of a heavy knife, on a chopping board, squash the gooey garlic out. Discard the skin. 
  7.  Stir the basil leaves, roughly torn up, half the parsley and the tomatoes into the vegetable mixture.
  8. Meanwhile make your quick bechamel sauce.
  9. Melt the butter - add the flour and whisk in half the milk.
  10. Now add the veggie bouillon cube and grate in some nutmeg to taste.
  11. Whisk in the rest of the milk - cooking until you have a smooth sauce.
  12. Now whisk in your garlic goo - Yummy!
  13. Turn the oven down to 350ºf./180ºc. gas mark 4.
  14. Grease an 8"x12"x2" lasagne baker or and cover the bottom with a layer of lasagne.
  15. Add one third of the vegetable mix - a third of the cheddar and a layer of sauce.
  16. Another layer of lasagne.
  17. Another layer of vegetables - cheddar and sauce.
  18. Another layer of lasagne.
  19. Another layer of vegetables - cheddar and sauce. Topped with the grated Parmesan and breadcrumbs.
  20. Bake in the oven for thirty minutes...Just time to have a well earned glass of wine!!
  21. Serve immediately....absolutely delicious!!!
Pam's tip: If you want a firmer lasagne let it sit overnight in the fridge and then reheat and serve the following day.
