How to make Cottage Cheese Veggie Lasagna
Tips from the cook
- Cook the vegetables down well and add the balsamic vinegar, so the lasagne is flavourful and not watery.
- Cover with foil for the first 15 minutes, then uncover so the top turns golden.
- Cool for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing, so the layers hold together.
- Finish with parmesan, chilli flakes or parsley.
