Method

1. 1

   Put the aubergines on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on full for 5 minutes. You’ll need to do this in batches. Place the aubergines on a clean tea towel or kitchen paper and leave to one side.

   
2. 2

   Put the garlic and rosemary leaves into a mixing bowl along with the remaining tomato sauce ingredients. Stir to combine.

   
3. 3

   Place the silken tofu on a clean tea towel. Bring the corners together and tightly squeeze the tofu over a sink to remove as much moisture as possible, then transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the remaining tofu ricotta ingredients and use a fork to mix everything together.

   
4. 4

   Preheat the oven to 180°C fan / 400°F.

   
5. 5

   Now it’s time to assemble the lasagne. Start with a layer of sweet potato – cover as much of the base as possible, but avoid overlapping the potato – followed by a third of the tofu ricotta, then half the aubergine, red pepper and cannellini beans, using the red pepper and beans to fill in any gaps around the aubergine. Push down on the layer to compact the ingredients, then add just under a third of the tomato sauce. Repeat the same layers again: sweet potato, a third of the tofu ricotta, half the aubergine, red pepper, cannellini beans and just under a third of the tomato sauce. At this point there should be at least 2cm (1”) clear at the top of the dish – if not, push down on the ingredients to compact them further. Next add a final layer of sweet potato, followed by the remaining tofu ricotta, and finish with a layer of tomato sauce. Cover the dish with a tray or foil, and bake for 110 minutes.

   Uncover the lasagne and generously sprinkle the vegan parmesan over the top. Then return it to the oven for 10 minutes uncovered.

   
7. 7

   Remove the lasagne from the oven and leave it to sit for at least 20 minutes. This will give the flavours time to mingle and help any remaining moisture escape. Then slice and serve!
