Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200C/390F.
  • Place vegetables on the tray, drizzle with oil, sprinkle with garlic, salt and pepper. Toss.
  • Roast for 25 minutes, turning at 15 minutes, until tender and browned.
  • Remove from oven, loosen from tray with spatula while warm (can stick when cools).
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and onion, cook for 3 minutes until golden.
  • Add passata, crushed tomato, water, dried herbs, chilli, salt and pepper. Stir. Simmer on medium low heat for 20 minutes. Adjust salt at the end. *Add a teeny touch of sugar if it's a bit sour, depends on quality of tomatoes used.*
  • Remove from stove and let cool for 5 minutes before using.
  • Place ingredients in a bowl and mix until combined.
  • Preheat oven to 160C/320F.
  • Spread a ladle of tomato sauce on the base of a large baking dish (Note 5).
  • Cover with lasagna sheets, tearing as required to fit.
  • Top with roasted vegetables, scatter over red peppers. Spoon over 2 1/2 cups of Sauce, then sprinkle with half the cheese.
  • Cover with lasagna sheets. Spread over Ricotta mixture.
  • Cover with lasagna sheets. Pour over remaining sauce and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until the cheese is golden. If using dried lasagna sheets, stick a knife in the middle to ensure it's cooked - if it needs longer, cover and stick it back in the oven.
  • Rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving. Store leftovers per notes - brilliant reheated!
