C8062598

These days I have trouble remembering telephone numbers, car registration numbers etc and always have to write them down.

Its a sign of getting old so I am told.

I was moaning about it this week after I took a number and forgot it with in minutes.

What I find amazing though is the fact that I Joined the WRAF in 1978 aged just 17 and can reel off my service number with out even thinking about it 🙂

I left the WRAF in 1986 and have never needed to use this number since then.


Rosemary Roasted Vegetable Lasagne

A request was made by Emily for a very vegetable dinner on Saturday evening.

A typical student away from home missing her fresh fruit and vegetables.

After going through my Slimming world recipes i decided a Vegetable Lasagne was just the answer.

The sauce is made from milk and Fromage Frais which makes it a far healthier dish than your normal lasagne.

Here is the recipe

1 aubergine
2 courgettes
1 red and 1 yellow pepper
4 garlic cloves
3 tbsp of fresh chopped rosemary
2 level tbsp cornflower
2 level tsp mustard
7 fl oz skimmed milk
7 oz/198g very low fat fromage frais
500ml carton passata
lasagne sheets
parmesan cheese

I also added a fennel  🙂

Heat oven to 200 c / 400 f / gas 6

chop all vegetables and place in a roasting dish with the crushed garlic and rosemary.

spray with fry light and roast for 30 mins

meanwhile make the sauce.

blend the cornflower with the mustard and  3 tbsp of the milk.

bring the remaining milk to the boil and stir in the cornflower mixture.

heat for 1 or 2 mins until sauce thickens

remove from heat and stir in the fromage frais then season to taste.

remove vegetables from oven and stir in the passata.

spoon half the vegetables into an oven proof dish then cover with lasagne and half the sauce.

repeat this , then sprinkle over the parmesan cheese and bake for 30 mins.

serves 4 and 3 1/2 sins per portion.

Even i was amazed at how delicious this dish was, it could easily be served to friends,they would never no it was a slimming world dish.

Glad to say it was enjoyed by all 🙂
