1 large kumara peeled and sliced into 1cm slices (4 pro points)
3 teaspoons of olive oil (3 pro points)
2 cups field or Swiss brown mushrooms
1/2 packet (about 200g) fresh spinach, chopped (or use frozen)
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup red wine (4 pro points)
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs of your choice (basil, oregano, rosemary are good)
2 cups cottage cheese (12 pro points)
1/2 cup low-fat milk (2 pro points)
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan (6 pro points)
instant lasagne sheets (12 pro points)
Extra cheese (grated) for sprinkling on top (cheddar or parmesan) (4 pro points)
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly brush the kumara, courgette and capsicum with oil and roast for 15 -20 min until soft.  remove and allow to cool a bit.
Heat the oil in a large pan and gently fry the onion, carrot, celery and garlic until soft but not browned. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook gently. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, wine, herbs and spices. Simmer for about 20 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and the liquid in the sauce has reduced by a third.
While the tomato sauce is cooking, make the cheese sauce. Blend the cottage cheese until smooth, then add the parmesan and the milk. Blend until you have a smooth, creamy sauce.
Add the spinach leaves to the tomato sauce, stir in and cook a few minutes until wilted (or thawed if using frozen).
In a deep oven dish, place a third of the tomato mixture. Follow with a layer of pasta, a layer of tomato, a layer of cheese and some of the roasted vegetables. Repeat the layering, finishing with the cheese. Sprinkle the extra cheese over the top of the lasagne and place in the oven.
Cook for 30-40 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving with a green salad and bread rolls.
