Method

1.Preheat oven to 200°C or 180°C fan forced. Grease a 29x17cm (base measurement), 5cm-deep ovenproof dish.

2.Heat a char-grill pan over high heat. Spray kumara and zucchini with oil on both sides. Char-grill, in batches, for 2 minutes or until golden and cooked. Transfer to a heatproof plate.

3.Using hands, squeeze excess liquid from spinach. Combine spinach, ricotta, milk, garlic and half the parmesan in a bowl. Season.

4.Spoon a fifth of the ricotta mixture into prepared dish, spreading over base. Top with 1 piece of lasagne, then a quarter each of the kumara and zucchini. Repeat layers of ricotta mixture, lasagne, kumara and zucchini 3 more times. Top with remaining ricotta mixture. Arrange tomato on top, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan.

5.Bake for 45 minutes or until golden, bubbling and pasta is tender when tested at centre with a skewer. Stand for 10 minutes. Serve with salad leaves.
