1/2 tsp Fennel seeds, ground
1/2 tsp Basil
1/2 tsp Oregano
1/2 tsp Marjoram
1 tbsp Parsley
3 cup Tomatoes, chopped
2 tbsp Tomato paste
1 pinch Sugar, optional
Salt & pepper

BECHAMEL SAUCE

2 tbsp Olive oil
2 tbsp Flour
2 cup Soy milk
Salt & pepper
1 pinch Nutmeg

TO ASSEMBLE

Lots of lasagna noodles, preferably green & fresh
1 1/2 cup Peas, frozen or fresh*
1 tbsp Olive oil
Thyme, as needed


TOMATO SAUCE: Prepare vegetables as indicated in the ingredient list
& set aside. Heat oil in a large pot until hot, & saute the chopped
& diced vegetables just until the onion has softened. Add the herbs &
continue to saute stirring occasionally for a few minutes longer. Add
the rest of the sauce ingredients & let simmer for 15 minutes, stir
occasionally. Set aside, once coked.

BECHAMEL SAUCE: Heat oil, stir in the flour & cook for about 30
seconds. Remove from the heat & slowly beat in the milk, ensuring
that no lumps form. Return to the heat & cook, stirring over medium
heat, until the sauce has thickened. Season with salt, pepper &
nutmeg. Set aside.

TO ASSEMBLE: If using dried pasta, it is advisable to cook it first.
If using fresh pasta, just sprinkle with a few drops of water before
baking.

Ladle several spoonfuls of tomato sauce in the bottom of a lasagna
pan then top with 1/4 of pasta, let the sheets rise up the sides of
the pan. Top with half the bechamel sauce & half the peas. Add
another layer of pasta, another layer of tomato sauce & top with a
third layer of pasta. Add the remaining bechamel sauce & peas. Top
with the rest of the tomato sauce. Drizzle with olive oil & sprinkle
with thyme.

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 400F for 40 minutes, until bubbling hot.
Serve with home-made garlic bread & a green salad.

* If using fresh peas, blanch before adding them to the lasagna
layers.

Dieting made easy

If you really want to become thin and also make improvements in your overall healthiness, then, as most people know, you really should undertake a methodically designed balanced meal plan. In a perfect world, this should contain five portions of fruit/vegetables a day and incorporate the correct mix of protein, carbs and fat.

When chosing foods for dieting, dieters most certainly become obsessed with department store and branded food items referred to as 'low in fat'. This is ordinarily foolish, in that a food item might be moderate in fat, but still contain far too many calories.

In deciding on a meal plan, it is essential to attempt to lower your consumption of refined carbohydrates, salt and fats.
