Add carrot, zucchini and mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add passata and bring to the boil.

  2. Meanwhile, melt spread in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until bubbling. Gradually stir in milk and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring, for 5 minutes or until sauce thickens. Remove from heat. Stir in cheese.
  3. Preheat oven to 200°C or 180°C fan-forced. Lightly spray a 2.5L (10-cup) capacity rectangular ovenproof dish with oil. Spread ½ cup (125ml) mince mixture over base of dish. Top with 1 lasagne sheet, trimming to fit if necessary. Top with one-third of remaining mince mixture and drizzle with ⅓ cup (80ml) cheese sauce.
