How to make


  • Preheat oven to 190°C/fan 170°C/gas 5. Line a baking tray with baking paper and grease a large ovenproof dish (about 22x35cm) with a little oil.

  • Arrange sweet potato slices over oven tray and bake for 15 minutes.

  • At the same time make mushroom “bolognese”. Heat oil in a large frypan over medium-low heat. Once shimmering, add onion and garlic and sauté for 6 minutes or until onion is translucent.

  • Add mushrooms and tomatoes and cook another 3-4 minutes. Add tomato paste, miso paste and dried oregano and season liberally with salt and pepper.

  • Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes or until sauce is thick and fragrant. Set aside.

  • Whisk ricotta and cottage cheese together, season with salt & pepper and set aside.

  • Spread 1⁄4 of the mushroom sauce over the bottom of the prepared dish. Layer a 1⁄4 of the sweet potato slices over the sauce and then spread 1⁄4 of the cheese sauce over the potatoes. Continue layering in this order, another 3 times, until all ingredients are used.

  • Form a tent with foil to loosely cover the dish, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil, top with parmesan, rotate the dish, and bake another 20-25 minutes until the lasagne is bubbling and fork-tender all the way through.

  • Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Scatter over fresh basil and eat!
