You could also add a little less passata and then add more if you need it or boil down the passata to be a bit thicker than mine. Generally I think that it is better to have a little more water in a lasagna than to have it too dry so I am sure it will be fine. Hope you enjoy it, it is a great lasagneJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-72592099056742851592014-10-09T11:24:58.122+11:002014-10-09T11:24:58.122+11:00Looks yummy but I only have homemade pumpkin purée...Looks yummy but I only have homemade pumpkin purée on hand that I've been meaning to use up.

It restored my faith in veg lasagnes and also provided me with a way to enjoy tempeh so I haven't bothered with other lasagne recipes since trying this. I haven't made it with pumpkin as we aren't huge pumpkin fans but I usually add some diced veg (carrots, mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant) into the tempeh sauce.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-88909195199754359722013-06-03T18:43:40.785+10:002013-06-03T18:43:40.785+10:00I have never seen tempeh round here, despite the 3...I have never seen tempeh round here, despite the 3 major supermarkets we have in our small town but must remember this if I ever see it, it sounds lovely!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02129038022641960439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-69472078000134850592013-06-03T16:01:15.284+10:002013-06-03T16:01:15.284+10:00You know I still haven't tried tempeh?
