Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsps vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 tbsps chilli powder
  • 2-1/2 cups water
  • 1 can (800g) tomatoes
  • 1 can (430g - 530g) red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 3 tbsps tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup Fibresure
  • 1 tsp sugar

  • 1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
  • 3 medium zucchini (700g), chopped
  • 18 no-boil lasagna noodles (340g)
  • 12 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded (3 cups)

Directions:

In 3L saucepan, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned. Stir in chilli powder; cook 1 minute. Add water, tomatoes with their juice, kidney beans, tomato paste, Fibresure, sugar, salt, and pepper; heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes.

In 10-inch frying pan, heat remaining 1 tbsp oil over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and cook until golden brown.

Preheat oven to 190°C. In 13" by 9" glass baking dish, evenly spoon one-third of sauce. Arrange half of no-boil lasagne noodles over sauce, overlapping to fit. Top with zucchini, half of mozzarella, and half of remaining sauce. Top with remaining no-boil noodles, then remaining sauce. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella over sauce.

Cover lasagne and bake 40 to 45 minutes; uncover and bake until hot and cheese is brown and bubbly, 15 minutes longer.
