- Step 7To make the lasagne: Spiralize the courgettes and sweet potatoes with the Spiral slice blade. Cut the ribbons into 5-6 cm pieces.
- Step 8Build up your lasagne in layers. Start with a little bechamel sauce in the bottom of an over proof tray.
- Step 9Place a layer of lasagne sheets over that followed by a layer of chicken, butternut squash, courgette and more sauce and sprinkle with paprika.
- Step 10Then add another layer of lasagne sheets followed by the chicken, and continue in this way until the chicken, butternut squash and courgette have been used up.
- Step 11The top layer should consist of a layer of lasagne sheets and bechamel sauce, sprinkled with the cheese.
