Method
step 1
Heat the oil in a 20cm frying pan with a tight-fitting lid over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for around 6 mins until soft and lightly browned. Tip in the garlic and stir for 1 min to stop it burning.
step 2
Add the courgettes and mushrooms and cook for 3-5 mins until soft. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
step 3
Stir in the lentils, tomatoes, tomato purée, 250ml water, paprika, a pinch of salt and the lasagne sheets. Mix well to ensure the pasta is fully submerged. Put the lid on and cook for 15-20 mins until the lentils and pasta are cooked through.
step 4
Simmer uncovered for 5 mins to reduce. Stir in the crème fraîche if using, then sprinkle the cheese over.
step 5
Put the pan under a hot grill until the cheese is melted and golden. Serve with a green salad.
