The rulebook has been thrown out the window with this one. We've swapped out mince for lentils to make the base of this herby tomato lasagne and topped it with a homemade béchamel sauce. You've heard it here first, it is so good, that we might just throw the rulebook out more often.

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Grate carrot. • Drain and rinse lentils.

• To pan, add diced tomatoes with onion & garlic, the brown sugar and water (for the red sauce), stirring occasionally, until thickened, 4-6 minutes. • Stir through baby spinach leaves until wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• While lentils are cooking, in a small saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat. • Add the plain flour and cook, stirring until a thick paste forms, 1-2 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium-low, then slowly whisk in the milk and water (for the white sauce) until smooth. Simmer, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat, then stir in Parmesan cheese. Season to taste.
• Spoon roughly 1/4 of the lentil filling into a baking dish, then top with a fresh lasagne sheet. Repeat with remaining filling and lasagne sheets. • Finish with a final lasagne sheet, then pour over the white sauce. • Bake lasagne, until golden, 20-25 minutes.
