Roast for 25 minutes, turning at 15 minutes, until tender and browned.

Remove from oven, loosen from tray with spatula while warm (can stick when cools).

Sauce:

Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and onion, cook for 3 minutes until golden.

Add passata, crushed tomato, water, dried herbs, chilli, salt and pepper. Stir. Simmer on medium low heat for 20 minutes. Adjust salt at the end. *Add a teeny touch of sugar if it's a bit sour, depends on quality of tomatoes used.*

Remove from stove and let cool for 5 minutes before using.

Place ingredients in a bowl and mix until combined.

Spread a ladle of tomato sauce on the base of a large baking dish (Note 5).

Cover with lasagna sheets. Spread over Ricotta mixture.

Cover with lasagna sheets. Pour over remaining sauce and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until the cheese is golden. If using dried lasagna sheets, stick a knife in the middle to ensure it's cooked - if it needs longer, cover and stick it back in the oven.

Rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving. Store leftovers per notes - brilliant reheated!
