Roasted Cauliflower Cheese Lasagne

Roasted Cauliflower Cheese Lasagne - packed with speed and tastes amazing!!

I recently made a delicious Cauliflower Cheese Soup, have you tried that yet? It's great for lunch and to make it extra filling, I have been adding cooked chicken and all kinds of yummy things to the top. Go check it out.

From making that the idea popped into my head for a lasagne. I mean most lasagne have cheese right, and cheese goes extremely well with Cauliflower, so a Roasted Cauliflower Cheese Lasagne just seemed like a match in heaven to me.

Sides to go alongside this are totally up to you. Cauliflower is of course a speed food and it has plenty of it, in this Roasted Cauliflower Cheese Lasagne, so you could either have it just as it is, or make it more filling with a side of Syn Free Chips and a salad or serve it with just a salad.

This Roasted Cauliflower Cheese Lasagne can also be made gluten free if you use gluten free lasagne sheets. The white cheese sauce is amazing. If you have already tried my Yummy Beef Lasagne, you will know how much I like a proper white sauce, none of this yoghurt or quark with eggs business for a topping. Lasagne in my opinion just isn't lasagne without a white sauce.

For this Roasted Cauliflower Cheese Lasagne, I used 6 oven ready lasagne sheets in a square dish, but lasagne sheets come in all different shapes and sizes, so you may need to use more or less. Hey I have even seen handy square lasagne sheets, which I wanted to grab this time to make this, but guess what, yep, when you go looking for something you have seen before, you can't find the damn things the next time round. Lesson Learnt.

If you don't use oven ready lasagne sheets, you will need to soak in boiling water to soften, otherwise they won't be cooked fully in this lasagne.

Want to vary this up? this would be amazing with some cooked chicken or turkey layered with the cauliflower, it's on my to do list next time I make this, as I have that combination in my head since I made this, so it's a good excuse for to make this again, right?

Give this Roasted Cauliflower Cheese Lasagne a go, it will be your new favourite way to increase some speed foods.
