Ingredients

  • 2 x 300g jars of roasted red peppers, chopped

  • 15 cherry tomatoes, quartered

  • 700g passata

  • 1tsp dried oregano

  • 4 garlic cloves, grated

  • Generous handful of fresh basil

  • 250g fresh lasagne sheets, cut into thick strands

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 4tsp balsamic vinegar

  • Croutons

  • 50g grated vegetarian Parmesan cheese, to serve

Method

  1. Add the peppers, tomatoes, passata, oregano, grated garlic, salt and pepper and most of the basil to the slow cooker. Cook on high for two hours or low for four hours.

  2. Add the lasagne strands and cook for a further 20–25 minutes (if cooking on low, you may need slightly longer).

  3. Plate up and top the pasta with the balsamic vinegar, croutons, Parmesan and remaining fresh basil.

  4. Tip: To make your own sourdough croutons, cube a couple of slices of bread, toss them in olive oil and put in the air fryer at 200°C for six minutes, or on a baking tray in a 200°C oven for 10–12 minutes.
