3. Stir through the tomato paste and cook for another 30 seconds. 

4. Add the chopped tomatoes, ½ cup water and knorr Naturally Tasty Lasagne and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 

5. Heat a large pan over a medium-low heat and add the pumpkin leaves and 2 tablespoons water and allow to wilt. 

6. Combine the wilted pumpkin leaves with the feta. Season to taste. 

7. Prepare the sauce by whisking together the KNORR Three Cheese Sauce and 2 cups of hot water until asaucy consistency is reached. 

To assemble:

 

1. Spread a dollop of cheese sauce at the bottom of the cake tin. Build the lasagne by creating repeated layers of lasagne sheets, bolognaise, sliced pumpkin and wilted greens (in that order) and repeat until you reach the top of the cake tin. Finish off with the grated cheese.

2. Bake for 60 minutes, until golden and bubbling. If the top starts to get too dark, cover with foil. 

3. Serve a generous slice of lasagne cake with a fresh side salad and ENJOY! *Chef’s Tip: To get the perfect slice, allow the lasagne to cool and set overnight in the fridge. Reheat until just warmed.
