Method
step 1
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium-high heat. Fry the onion and celery with a pinch of salt for 10 mins until soft. Add the courgettes and aubergine, and cook for another 10 mins until translucent. Stir in the garlic, fry for 1 min, then stir in the tomato purée to cover the veg and cook for 2 mins.
step 2
Add the herbs, tomatoes and stock, and simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 mins until the tomatoes have broken down – it should still be quite thin. Add the lasagne pieces, one by one, and stir well, so they don’t stick together. Simmer for 5-8 mins until the pasta is al dente. Top up with a little water if it starts to get too thick. Taste for seasoning.
step 3
Ladle into bowls, top with the torn mozzarella, basil leaves and parmesan. Season with black pepper and add a drizzle more oil to serve.
