I serve up lasagne on a regular basis in winter. This lentil-based vegan lasagne has everything you could want from a lasagne – it's hearty, warming AND healthy! Thanks to the lentils, this lasagne is high in plant protein and – combined with the pesto on top of each layer of lasagne sheets – contains a proper portion of vegetables. The individual lasagne layers complement each other beautifully. The earthy notes of the lentils combined with the lemony flavour of the pesto result in a delicious winter dish.
