My Italian background is coming out with this dish. Polenta is the meal that brings me flashbacks of family summers In northern Italy and it’s definitely considered a ‘peasant’ food because it’s just SO cheap. Corn was viewed as feed for the animals, but I definitely think the times have changed because polenta is everywhere in the mountains

I seriously could write a cookbook on all the different ways I make curry! This technique is the best if I’m just not in the mood to wash the blender for a curry paste (which, let’s be honest, is most of the time!) and are not in the mood to do loads of dishes. This saucy dish is so creamy, zesty, absolutely bursting with flavour and spice. Bonus- it takes only 15-20 minutes to make too! Bonus #2 - You could make this vegan by omitting the prawn step here and roasting chickpeas with the aubergine/eggplant. Scrumptious!

Instead of traditional lasagna pasta I used thinly sliced zucchini- I actually utilized a thick bladed peeler because I don’t yet have a mandolin to get the veggies pasta-thin! it actually worked so well and it went over as a hit! Rich- a lasagna connoisseur- said he couldn’t even tell the difference from a pasta based lasagna

As for alterations - I used a dairy based ricotta, but I actually think it would have tasted THAT much better if I used a plant based one and eggplant totally could also be used if your in a hitch on the vegetable department. Enjoy!
