- To prepare the tomato sauce, add tomatoes, Italian herbs, garlic and sea salt to a food processor and pulse until combined. Pour into a bowl and set aside.
- In a 22 x 22cm baking dish, spread tomato sauce on the base. Layer by topping with a lasagne sheet, tomato sauce and 1/3 ricotta mixture. Repeat. For the last layer, cover lasagne sheets in remaining tomato sauce, then top with mozzarella and parmesan.
- Cover in foil and place in the oven for 45 mins. Take the foil off and bake for another 15 mins. Set aside to cool for 15 mins. Serve.
