Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Halve the bell pepper lengthways and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
Trim the courgette and slice into 1cm thick rounds.
Halve and peel the red onion, then cut each half into roughly 2-3cm wedges.
Add the veg to a baking tray and drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then spread out in a single layer.
When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf of your oven until softened, 15-18 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium saucepan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the bacon and stir-fry until golden, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook bacon thoroughly.
Next, add the garlic and fry until fragrant, 1-2 mins.
When fragrant, add in the passata, red wine stock paste, chilli flakes (add less if you'd prefer things milder), sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper.
Bring the sauce to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened, 4-5 mins.
Once thickened, stir in half the creme fraiche and remove from the heat. Taste and season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar if you feel it needs it.
Meanwhile, grate the Cheddar cheese.
Once the veg has softened, remove the tray from the oven.
In an appropriately sized ovenproof dish, spread a third of the tomato sauce in a thin layer.
Cover with a third of the lasagne sheets, then spread over half of the roasted veg.
Repeat until you have two layers of roasted veg and three layers of tomato sauce and lasagne sheets.
Finish by drizzling over the remaining creme fraiche and sprinkling over the Cheddar and hard Italian style cheese.
Pop your lasagne on the middle shelf of the oven and bake until golden and bubbling, 25-30 mins. TIP: Put the dish onto a baking tray to catch any drips.
Halve the roasted vegetable lasagne and share between serving bowls.
