Aubergine lasagna parmigiana
A cross between a lasagna and an aubergine parmigiana, this comforting bake does not need a white sauce or a mountain of cheese. Lentils take the place of mince, boosting the fiber, but you could add mince for a meaty flavour. You could even play around with swopping the aubergine for another veg, like zucchini or pumpkin. This rustic dish can handle a lot of customization.
Stir-fried greens with lemon and Parmesan
Fresh green seasonal veggies seared in a hot pan until just tender, garnished with lemon juice and Parmesan cheese. Asparagus is used in this recipe, but can easily be replaced with another firm veg like green beans, mangetout, sugar-snap peas, or baby broccoli. This recipe works well as a side dish. You could also serve it as a light meal along with fried or poached eggs. Enjoy!
