Lasagne with Lentils
- 200 grams Lentils
- 100 grams Mascarpone
- 100 grams Sour cream
- 250 ml Double cream (as substitution for the sour cream and mascarpone above)
- 60 grams Parmesan cheese
- 1 Tinned tomatoes
- 1 small Onion
- 1 Carrot
- 1 Celery
- 1 tsp Consomme powder
- 1 tsp Mixed Italian herbs
- 1 tsp Balsamic vinegar
- 50 ml Water
- 8 sheets Lasagne noodles
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons Herbal or rock salt
- 1/2 tsp White pepper
- 3 tbsp Milk
- 1 tbsp Oil (to grease the casserole dish)
- 1 tbsp Salt (for cooking the lasagne pasta)
- 1 tbsp Oil (for cooking the lasagne pasta)
- Cook the lentils in 400 ml boiling water.
- After 8 minutes drain off the boiling water.
- To make the tomato sauce, fry the chopped onion, carrot, and celery with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the consomme powder and tinned tomato, along with water from swishing clean the tin, and cook for 20-30 minutes.
- Season to taste with balsamic vinegar and herbs.
- Add salt and pepper if necessary.
- To boil the lasagna, add 1 tablespoon each of salt and olive oil to the boiling water.
- Add about 3 sheets of lasagna at a time and boil.
- The olive oil prevents the pasta from sticking to each other.
- Grease the gratin dish with oil.
- Layer it first with lasagne, then the cooked lentils, and sprinkle with herb salt and pepper.
- Place 2 teaspoons each of mascarpone and sour cream on top.
- Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons Parmesan cheese and pour the tomato sauce over the top.
- Repeat with two more layers (adjust to the height of your dish).
- Pour in 3 tablespoons of milk slowly from the edges and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- Put the dish in a oven preheated to 200C.
- After 15 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and bake for 4 more minutes.
- Open the oven door and let it stand for 5-10 minutes.
- This helps set the cheese to make it easier to eat.
- Instead of mascarpone and sour cream, I used 125 ml double cream.
- I also used a mixture of pecorino cheese and Parmesan cheese.
- You could also mix the tomato sauce and cooked lentils beforehand, which is also tasty.
