Steps:
- For the tomato sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and mash into a chunky puree using a potato masher. Bring to a simmer and partially cover the pan with a lid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat.
- For the lasagna: While the sauce is cooking, drain the water from the spinach, place in a clean kitchen towel and wring well to remove any excess water. Break up the spinach into a large bowl. Set aside 1 cup of the mozzarella, then add the remaining mozzarella to the bowl with the spinach. Add the ricotta, Parmesan, nutmeg, eggs, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and mix with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until well combined.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and trim a small bit from one of the longer ends on each so they will sit flat and not roll. Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch planks.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- To assemble the lasagna: Add about 3/4 cup of sauce to the bottom of a deep 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Place a single layer of sweet potato slices along the bottom. Top with one-quarter of the ricotta and spinach mixture and use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread gently into an even layer. Dollop about 3/4 cup of sauce on top of the ricotta mixture. Top with another layer of sweet potato slices facing the opposite direction from the previous layer. Repeat with ricotta mixture and sauce until you have 4 layers, ending with the remaining sauce.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil, top with the reserved mozzarella and bake until the lasagna is bubbling, the mozzarella is starting to brown and the sweet potatoes are tender when a paring knife is inserted into the center, an additional 45 to 60 minutes. Let sit for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:
- In a food processor, add the mushrooms, shallots and chard and pulse until chopped and uniform, about 5 times.
- Heat a large pan to medium high. Add the butter and cook until foaming. Add the mushroom mixture and toss. Let the ingredients brown, undisturbed, about 5 minutes. Stir, add the crushed red pepper and some salt and continue cooking for 10 more minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Mix together the cooled mushroom mixture with the ricotta, thyme and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan. Season with more salt and crushed red pepper if needed. Add in the egg and stir until combined. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Using a mandoline, slice the potatoes thinly lengthwise; make sure they are very thin, almost translucent. You should be able to see your shadow behind them.
- Spray an 8-by-8-inch glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place a layer of the potatoes on the bottom. Spread about 1/4 cup of the ricotta mixture across the slices and repeat about 6 times, or until you run out of potatoes or cheese mixture. Make sure the top layer is potatoes.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake until the potatoes are tender, about 1 hour. Let rest for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with the chopped basil and remaining 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan and serve.

SWEET POTATO AND RICOTTA LASAGNA
I took this from a lasagna packet and slightly modified - the original called for pumpkin but I wanted a lower GI meal. Try both sometime. Also, you could really take the total weight of veggies and make up whatever mix you felt like. BTW, this is a really filling meal! If anyone freezes this let me know how it works too!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- To make bechamel, melt butter in a pan over low heat.
- Stir in flour and cook for one minute.
- Remove from heat, add bay leaves and nutmeg and gradually stir in milk - I use a whisk from here.
- Return to low heat and keep whisking and stirring for about 5 minutes, should thicken nicely. Put aside, season and remove bay leaves.
- Now heat oil in a large frypan and add onion and garlic.
- Cook over med heat about 2 minutes, then add sweet potato. Cook another 3 minutes.
- Add mushrooms, oregano and zucchini and cook another 5 minutes til veggies are just softening. Remove from heat and add tomatoes and paste.
- To assemble, place half the veggie mix in the bottom of a large shallow oven dish. ( I used a 26cm x 20cm dish, 5cm deep and it was only just big enough! ).
- Top with 1/3 lasagna sheets, cover with all the ricotta and 1/4 the parmesan.
- Top with another 1/3 lasagna sheets, cover with other half veggies and 1/4 parmesan.
- Top with rest of lasagna sheets, cover with the bechamel and rest of parmesan - make sure completely covered.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until nicely golden and tender.
- Serve with a big crunchy salad!

SWEET AND SAVORY LASAGNA
The secret ingredient in this lasagna is the brown sugar in the sauce. It gives it such a savory taste! I also really like using cottage cheese instead of the traditional ricotta - it's more moist, tastes delicious, and is also cheaper. This lasagna is very saucy and can be soupy the day it's made (especially if you are using a smaller pan with 12 noodles instead of 15). It still tastes great though. By the second day the noodles will suck up the excess sauce but leave enough so that this lasagna never gets dried out (I can't stand dry lasagna). Hope you enjoy it as much as my husband does!

Steps:
- Boil the lasagna noodles until done; rinse.
- Brown the ground meat, onion, and garlic; drain fat.
- In a large bowl, mix the spaghetti sauce and brown sugar.
- In another bowl, mix the eggs, 3 cups of mozzarella, and cottage cheese.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- In a large, deep casserole dish, start layering your lasagna. Start with sauce, then noodles, then half the meat, more sauce to cover the meat, and half the cheese mixture. Repeat. You will end with the third layer of noodles covered in the last of the sauce. Be generous with the sauce even if it seems to be getting soupy; the noodles are going to suck it all up.
- Cover with foil (shiny side in) and bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
- Remove foil cover and spread the remaining mozzarella cheese on top. Sprinkle with parsley for color.
- Bake uncovered for another 10 minutes or until cheese is completely melted.
- Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

- Peel sweet potatoes and slice thinly with a very sharp knife or mandolin. They shouldn't be paper thin, but semi-thick and bendable - about 1/8th inch.
- In a 9x13-inch (or similar size) dish, begin laying down the sweet potatoes in a single layer, overlapping slightly.
