Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Can of Chopped Tomatoes
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Tomato Puree
- 1 Butternut Squash
- 220 g Vegan Mince
- 150 g Vegan Cheese - grated
- 1/4 cup Flour
- 300 ml Soy Milk
- Salt
- Pepper
- Fresh Basil
- 1 pinch Dried Italian Herbs
- 1 Onion
- 2 Cloves of Garlic - minced
Instructions
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a pan and bring to a medium heat.
- Add the can of chopped tomatoes, the tomato puree and the sugar, season with salt and pepper and give it a good stir and let simmer.
- Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice the butternut squash. About 2mm slices or as thin as you can get it. Keep the slices and dispose of the peelings and seeds. Have a tidy up.
- Finely chop an onion.
- On your second hob, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and gently fry your onions until translucent.
- Add the 2 minced garlic cloves.
- Add the Vegan mince some salt and give it all a good stir. Cook for about 5 minutes.
- Tip the pan of tomatoes into the mince mixture, add a handful of torn basil and let simmer.
- Wash the pan that had tomato in it and then over a low heat combine 2 tablespoons of oil with 1/4 of a cup of flour. Mix for about 4 minutes into a paste.
- Turn off the flame and add 1/3 of your milk to the paste and carefully stir until combined.
- Turn the hob back on, add the next third of milk and switch to a whisk to stir the sauce. Once combined add the last third of milk and whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Add the Vegan cheese to the sauce and give it a good mix until the cheese has melted into the sauce. It should be smooth and creamy. Add salt and pepper.
- Remove the pan of meat sauce from the heat and drizzle some of the liquid into the bottom of the Omnia silicone insert.
- Layer the bottom with your first layer of sliced of butternut squash.
- Add your one layer of meat sauce.

- Sprinkle some dried herbs on the top and cook in your Omnia over a medium heat for 40 minutes.
