Ingredients:
Pasta: 250g courgette (peeled)
Tomato Sauce: 6 salad tomatoes, 50g sundried tomatoes, 25g dates, 15ml lemon juice, 1 clove garlic, ½ tbsp. oregano, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp onion powder
Mushroom Mince: 250g mushrooms, 15ml tamari soy sauce
Tomato Layer: 3 sliced tomatoes
Pesto Layer (you can cheat and buy vegan pesto if you prefer): 105g pumpkin seeds, 60g fresh basil, 90ml olive oil, 15ml lemon juice, 1 ½ tbsp nutritional yeast, 1 clove garlic, ½ tsp pink crystal salt (or normal salt if you don’t have it)
Garnish: a few olives, parsley
Method:
To make the pasta : Finely slice the courgette lengthways using a peeler.
To make the tomato sauce: Add all of the ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth. Tip out into a jug.
To make the muhroom mince: Add the mushrooms to your food processor and pulse into small mince-like pieces. Add to a jug and stir in the tamari soy sauce.
To make the pesto: Add all of the ingredients to your blender and process into a chunky paste. You may wish to add a little water to it to make it more spreadable for the lasagne.
Putting it together:
Place strips of courgette into the bottom of a dish or plate to create a pasta layer. Top with a layer of tomato sauce and a layer of mushroom mince.
Add another layer of courgette, followed by pesto and sliced tomato.
Add another layer of courgette, tomato sauce and mushroom mince.
Add another layer of courgette and some pesto.
Add another layer of courgette and some tomato sauce.
Add a final layer of courgette. Dice the remaining tomato, slice the olives and add to the top with a sprinkle of parsley.
Serve with a few dressed leaves. (This is kale, with a dressing of mustard, balsamic vinegar and xylitol crystals.)
Serve naked.

Just watched you guys on tv here in nz….. Great,?unique blog!!! Keep it up!!
how do you find the courgette/zuchinni pasta? is it as tasty as traditional gluten/wheat pasta?
sorry for the misunderstanding! the “pasta” is not actually pasta, just regular courgette pretending to be pasta!
哈，你的网站已经红到了中国了啊哈哈～我在新浪看到了你的网站，当新闻出现了。i come from CHINA and your website now is popular to Chinese people now. knowing your website from SINA,a Chinese site,I come here,your site is reported as a news！congratulations！
This may seem like a silly question but could you tell me the proper name of that plate the food is on? I always tell people I want those plates used for salad at Mongolian Grill but no one ever knows what I’m talking about!
OK guys, Just a little advice its not food related but i just watched you all in a program… My partner wants me to go to a nudist camp… I think i like the idea, well it did not bother me watching the program, i am going to go no matter how nervous i get.
But do you have any confidence tips, as i’m not small built. maybe i rely on clothes too much! I was just wondering when you see people who are nervous do you have any confidence tips etc… Thanks guys
