gluten free roasted vegetable lasagna

i looooove lasagna! it is so easy to make, and so tasty and healthy. i made this a while back when we were having a fairly big group for dinner. roasting the veggies before does take some extra time, but it also means that the lasagna cooks faster, and it brings out this really amazing flavour in the veggies.
 


ingredients:

2 340g boxes of brown rice lasagna noodles (oven ready) - or even 1 1/2 packages would be fine, you need 16 lasagna noodles.
1 large can of tomato sauce (680 mL)
10 cups finely chopped vegetables (i used peppers, carrots, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms)
1/4 c olive oil
1/2 c chopped fresh herbs (i used basil, oregano, parsley and garlic)
2 c chopped spinach (or 1 package frozen)
1 large tub of cottage cheese (1 kg)
1 c water
2 c grated cheddar cheese

to make:

throw chopped veggies, herbs and olive oil in a baking dish and mix well. bake at 400 degrees for an hour and a half, stirring every half hour or so. the volume will reduce by 1/3 to 1/2.
pour the veggies into a large bowl, and add tomato sauce and water.

spread a thin layer of the tomato mixture on the bottom of your lasagna pan.

top with a layer of lasagna noodles (4).

top with a layer of tomato sauce and veggies (a little less than half the bowl).

then spinach (all 2 cups)

top with a layer of tomato sauce and veggies (most of what is left).

top with a layer of lasagna noodles (4).

top with the last bit of tomato sauce and veggies (what is left of the mixture).

top with grated cheddar cheese.

bake at 375 for 45 minutes - 1 hour. until the cheese is crispy and lightly browned.
