Veggie Mince Lasagne


For Christmas, I was given cute little mini casserole dishes which are perfect for single dish portions of pasta bakes, casseroles and lasagne.

Tonight, I had a craving for veggie lasagne, but didn't want anything too heavy so a little single dish veggie lasagne with cottage cheese was perfect and left me with another for lunch tomorrow. I find soya mince is a fantastic ingredient for things like this as it absorbs any extra liquid that may have come out of the veggies.

Double mix for a full casserole dish sized lasagne.
