Delicious Lamb and Pumpkin Lasagne
Lasagna is my go-to pasta recipe but I wanted to make it healthier so I made this delicious lamb and pumpkin lasagne as an alternative. This recipe is so good that sometimes, I choose it over the pasta recipe.
Ingredients
750 grams ground lamb (minced lamb)
1 large onion
5 cloves garlic
2 tins tomato - diced
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
½ teaspoon chili flakes (chilli flakes in British English)- ½ medium butternut pumpkin
2 medium courgettes also called zucchini (Courgettes French / Zucchini Italian)
1 punnet cherry tomatoes
60 grams feta cheese - goat's
30 grams Parmesan cheese
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Slice pumpkin as thinly as possible, about 1/2 to 1-centimetre thick, leaving the skin on. Season both sides with salt/pepper, spray (or brush) with olive oil, and lay out on two oven trays covered in baking paper. Cook in the oven for 20 minutes.
- While the pumpkin is cooking, prepare the meat sauce. Finely chop the onion, and crush the garlic. Heat a large saucepan and sauté onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until soft; add mince and cook until lightly browned.
- Add the rosemary, garlic, tinned tomatoes and chilli flakes, and a good amount of salt and pepper (more salt). Leave to simmer for 10 minutes.
- Taste the sauce mix, and add more salt/pepper and rosemary to taste. Leave to simmer for another 10 to 15 minutes until the sauce has reduced.
- Remove the pumpkin from the oven. Thinly slice courgette lengthways into long strips. In an oven dish, layer alternating pumpkin/courgette and lamb mince, starting with lamb on the bottom. With each pumpkin layer, add a goat’s cheese sprinkle. Top with halved cherry tomatoes, feta and Parmesan.
- Cook for 30 to 40 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius, or until golden brown. Enjoy!
