Make the homemade ricotta as per the recipe. Substitute with regular long life milk or store bought ricotta if you prefer.
Add the olive oil to a frypan and sauté the garlic for 1 minute on high heat, until golden. Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until caramelised.

Simmering the vegetable sauce will enhance the flavours

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Place lasagne sheets in the bottom of a baking dish so they touch but don't overlap.
Remove the bay leaves from the vegetable sauce, add salt and pepper to taste, stir to combine.
Spread the vegetable sauce onto the lasagne sheets.
Spoon the ricotta onto the vegetable layer. Smooth if desired.
