  6. Start by adding a cup of bechamel to the bottom of your lasagne dish, followed by a layer of lasagne sheets, then a layer of roasted veg (1/2) and then another cup of bechamel.

  7. Repeat this process again. Lasagne sheets, remaining half of roasted veg and 1 cup of bechamel.

  8. Finally add the final layer of lasagne sheets followed by the remaining 2 cups of bechamel, sprinkle with nutritional yeast and bake in the oven for 45 minutes until golden and bubbling around the edges.

  9. Serve immediately or cool and freeze for up to 3 months. Enjoy!
