I would never have thought of mixing together carrots, basil and a cream sauce in a lasagna but it works very well. The carrots even kept a little bite after being cooked, which I liked. The prep time took me a while but I had to grate the carrots by hand. I baked this in a 180C (350F) oven for about 30 minutes.

Loved this, made it in advance and it was a real hit even with my carnivore husband! Made a firm lasagna rather than a saucy one. Definitely make again. Cooked for full time.

I have recently made this recipe using cooked mashed pumpkin instead of the carrot. Follow steps 1 and 2 and then add mashed pumpkin (I had about 2 1/2 cups of pumpkin) then follow recipe as above. Family now prefer this with pumpkin instead of carrot.

This is my kind of lasagne. And my 22 month old also loved it. So much that she went to the kitchen and tried to serve herself another helping! I also found that 30 minutes worked for the cooking time.
