Instructions

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C(fan)/420°F/Gas 7.
Put strips of 3 Courgette (zucchini) onto a baking sheet and cook in the oven for 4 minutes each side and then set aside.
In a large pan, heat 0.5 tablespoon Olive oil and then add 1 Onion, 8 Mushrooms and 2 Garlic clove and gently cook for 3-4 minutes.
Add 400 g turkey mince and cook for a further 5 minutes.
Add 0.5 batch tomato pasta sauce and 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
Mix together 120 g Spinach and 4 tablespoon 0% Fat Free Greek yogurt.
Using a lasagna dish that is as long as (or longer than) the courgette strips are, add the meat sauce to the bottom of the dish.
Add a layer of courgette.
Add a layer of the meat sauce and a layer of the spinach mix.
Add another layer of courgette, some more meat sauce and some more spinach mixture and finish by topping with the remaining courgette.
Sprinkle 60 g mozzarella and 60 g Cheddar cheese on top and put in the oven.
Bake for 20-30 minutes, until the cheese has browned.

Notes

To stop the lasagna getting soggy, you will want to cook the courgette a little first, before layering up the lasagna.
Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before serving too, this allows some of the extra liquid to soak up.
To save some time, pre-cook the vegetable lasagna sheets ahead of time and then assemble the lasagna when you are ready to put it in the oven.
We used courgette for the layers, but you could use aubergine or a mixture.
If you want the top of this pasta bake to go really crispy, then you can put it under the grill (broiler) for a couple of minutes.
Grate your own cheese rather than using the store bought pre-grated cheese. This is because it is coated in starches to prevent it from sticking in the bag. Not only does this add to the carbs, but it means that it doesn't melt as well.
