One pan courgette lasagne

Lasagne is delicious but it can be a faff, making a bechamel and bolognese sauce and then baking it for at least 40 minutes. And although delicious it can be a little carb and calorie heavy.

So here is super easy lasagne you can make with a few pantry staples. If you batch cook the bolognese at the beginning of the week you can use it in different ways throughout the week and can make this dish in just a few minutes.

Try to find large baby marrows, it will be much easier to peel them into thin slices. My children was not so impressed with the marrows but you can almost not taste it with all the other deliciousness going on.

This dish will also freeze well. Serve with a big salad or some steamed greens.
