100g baby spinach

Directions
Roasted Vegetables
Preheat oven to 180℃
Place vegetables in an oven dish, drizzle with olive oil and seasoning. Roast for about 30 minutes. Until the vegetables are just tender.
For the Cheese Sauce
Combine the milk and stock and heat the mixture – not to boiling point.
Melt the butter in a saucepan and allow to brown slightly – this adds a great nutty flavour to your sauce.
Once the butter is a blonde colour, add all the flour and whisk until combined and your mixture has a pasty consistency.
Add the heated milk mixture and whisk until well combined and smooth.
Cook on a medium heat until bubbles are forming to ensure the flour is cooked.
Remove from the heat and add the cheese.
Stir to melt all the cheesy goodness and season to taste.
Cover the sauce with cling film directly on the surface of the sauce to prevent a skin from forming.
**TIP – Never allow the sauce to boil again once you’ve added the cheese, because this will cause it to taste grainy and floury. When heating a cheese sauce, allow to heat slowly and evenly while stirring.
For the Lasagna:
For the tomato sauce: Heat the oil in a medium sized pot; sweat the onions and garlic for 5 minutes over a low heat. Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, stock, rosemary and sugar and simmer gently. Season with salt and pepper.
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (*the oven should be preheated from the roast vegetables)
Rub an oven-proof dish with some butter or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Layer all your veggie components, alternating with the aubergine slices, lasagne sheets, tomato sauce and cheese sauce in between the layers.
Bake for about 45 minutes
