Ingredients
1Tbsp.
olive oil
1
onion, finely chopped
600g
sweet potato, about 3 medium, peeled and chopped into 4cm pieces
2
garlic cloves, crushed
2 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes
1tsp.
dried oregano
small bunch fresh basil, roughly chopped
pinch of sugar
200g
spinach
100g
soft goat's cheese, crumbled
6 sheets fresh lasagne
25g
Parmesan, grated
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6 and bring a large pan of water to the boil. Heat the oil in a separate medium pan and gently fry the onion for 10min until softened.
Step 2
Cook the sweet potato in the boiling water for 10min or until tender.
Step 3
Add garlic to the onion pan; fry for 1min. Add tomatoes, oregano, basil and sugar. Check seasoning. Empty into a 2 litre ovenproof dish.
Step 4
Put the spinach into a colander. Lift the cooked sweet potatoes out of the boiling water with a slotted spoon and put into a medium bowl. Pour half the boiling water from the pan over the spinach to wilt and return pan with remaining water to low heat.
Step 5
When cool enough to handle, lift up handfuls of spinach and squeeze out excess moisture. Roughly chop. Mash sweet potatoes, and then add chopped spinach, goat’s cheese and seasoning.
Step 6
Bring water back up to boil and cook lasagne sheets for 30sec until softened. Lift out with a slotted spoon on to a board. Divide sweet potato mix among sheets and spread to cover. Roll each sheet up from a short edge, then slice into three rolls. Arrange the rolls in the sauce, cut-side up. Scatter over Parmesan.
Step 7
Cook in the oven for 35min or until golden and bubbling. Serve with a green salad, if you like.
Freeze ahead Make to end of step 6. Cool completely, cover with foil and freeze for up to 3 months. To serve, cook from frozen (still covered) in an oven preheated to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6 for 30min, and then remove foil and cook for 45min more, until golden and piping hot.
