INGREDIENTS
    • 75 g / 2 1/2 oz vegan margarine
    • 1 large butternut squash (peeled, de-seeded and sliced into flattish 1 inch / 2.5 cm chunks)
    • 2 medium red onions (cut into wedges)
    • 4 cloves garlic (peeled and roughly quartered)
    • 3 tomatoes, quartered
    • 2 x 400 g / 14 oz tins chopped tomatoes
    • 100 g / 3 1/2 oz pine nuts
    • 2 t rosemary
    • 1 heaped t basil
    • 1 t paprika (optional)
    • 2 vegan stock cubes
    • Lasagne sheets

      Sauce

    • 75 g / 2 1/2 oz vegan margarine
    • 1 1/4 pints / 600 ml soya milk
    • 75 g / 2 1/2 oz plain flour
    • 1 t mustard (optional)
    • Salt

METHOD
1. Pre-heat oven to gas mark 6/200C/390F and melt the marg in a roasting tin. Mix one stock cube and rosemary into the melted fat and then add vegetables. Stir well to ensure even coating and then roast for 25 mins.

2. Meanwhile, make the white sauce by melting the marg over a gentle heat in a sauce pan, stir in the flour, then add the soya milk slowly, stirring all the time. Remove from heat when it thickens and set aside. If you get a few lumps, it isn't a big problem.

3. Mix the other stock cube with about 1/4 pint / 120 ml hot water, then place in a large bowl with the tinned tomatoes, basil, paprika and pine nuts.

4. Put the roasted veg into the bowl with the tomato sauce and mix together.

5. Spread a couple of T of this mixture onto the bottom of a large lasagne dish. Make a layer of pasta sheets. Pour on half the sauce/veg mix. Make another pasta layer, then pour on rest of sauce mix, before topping with more pasta.

6. Pour the white sauce over the lasagne, then bake at gas mark 5/190C/375F for 40 mins.

Serve with salad, chips, roast veg or mashed potato.


NOTES
This is based on a recipe in a free booklet that comes with pure dairy-free margarine. Not all recipes in the booklet are vegan, but the ones that are look very good.

I have 'Ronny-ized' it by adding sweet potatoes and tomatoes. I made this yesterday for my parents, sister and both our boyfriends, as Andrew and I were visiting them. My (meat eating) parents loved it and gobbled it down very quickly. I reckon kids would also really like this, as it is not highly flavoured.
