Method
Preheat oven to 200°C
In a pan, fry the onion and garlic in olive oil for around 5 minutes until they start to cook.
Add the aubergine, courgette, mushrooms and tomatoes and bring to the boil.
Add the yeast extract, basil and salt to taste.
Stir in the spinach until it wilts.
Turn down the heat, put the lid on the pan and simmer for around 20 minutes.
In another pan, melt the butter and then stir in the flour to make a roux paste.
Remove from the heat and stir in some of the milk until the roux melts and there are no lumps.
Return to head and add the rest of the milk gradually, stirring until the bechamel sauce thickens in to a nice consistency.
Stir in about 1/4 of the grated cheese.
Spread half of the vegetable mixture in a lasagne dish.
Place 3 of the lasagne sheets on top, covering the vegetable mixture.
Spread half of the bechamal sauce evenly on top of the lasagne sheets.
Repeat, vegetable mixture, lasagne sheets and bechamal sauce for another layer.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
Place in the oven for 45 minutes.
