    1Preheat oven to 180°C. Brown mince in a non-stick pan without added fat. Add onion and garlic. Cook until softened.

    2Add mushrooms and cook for a few more minutes. Stir in pesto, wine, purée and sugar. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

    3Meanwhile, plunge lasagne sheets in boiling water to soften. Remove. Cool slightly. Cut each sheet in half. Mix cottage cheese with parmesan.

    4Lightly grease an ovenproof dish. Place half a sheet of lasagne down. Top with some mince. Add another piece of lasagne then more mince. Add a final piece of lasagne. Repeat with the remaining lasagne and mince for 4 individual lasagnes.

    5Spread cottage cheese over top of lasagnes. Bake for 15 minutes until heated through. Garnish with fresh basil. Season to taste with black pepper and serve with a green salad.
