Add carrot, kale and pesto and cook for a few minutes. Add tomatoes, wine, beans and tofu and cook for 10 minutes. Fold in spinach leaves and nuts.

    2 Meanwhile prepare the cheese sauce by blending cottage cheese, milk and three quarters of parmesan until smooth. Season with pepper and paprika.

    3 Place a layer of lasagne in the dish. Add a third of the bean and tofu mix. Add another layer of pasta and then cheese sauce. Use a large spoon to press down the layers as you go. Repeat the layers finishing with cheese sauce. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan. Cook for 35-40 minutes. Garnish with basil and freshly ground pepper and serve.
