Ingredients

  • 700 g

    shop-bought tomato and basil pasta sauce 

  • 6

    fresh lasagne sheets, about 15 x 20cm each

  • 100 g

    green pesto 

  • 150 g

    garlic and herb cream cheese, we used Philadelphia

  • 25 g

    Cheddar, coarsely grated

Directions

    1. Step 1

      Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Empty the sauce into a rough 2 litre ovenproof serving dish. 

    2. Step 2Fill a medium roasting tin halfway with hot water and lay a sheet of baking parchment on a board. Working with 2 lasagne sheets at a time, soak in the hot water for 1min, until pliable. Using tongs, lift out the pasta and place on the baking parchment.
    3. Step 3Spread 1/6 of the garlic and herb cream cheese over the top of each soaked pasta sheet, followed by 1/6 of the pesto. Roll up each sheet from a short edge, then slice into 3 rolls. Arrange the rolls in the sauce, cut side up. Repeat process with remaining sheets and filling (making sure the water is hot for the soaking).
    4. Step 4 Sprinkle over the cheese and cook for 25min, or until golden and bubbling. Serve with a crisp green salad, if you like.
