Method

Make the ragu: in a large pan with the oil, colour the portobello mushrooms, then add the chestnut mushrooms and aubergine. Season and cook 6-7 minutes until the water evaporates.

Add the mushroom butter, onion, garlic, chilli flakes and thyme and cook 2 minutes, then crank up the heat, add the white wine and reduce. Add the Worcestershire, soy and tomatoes, simmer 5 minutes and set aside.

For the cheese sauce, melt the butter, add the flour and cook, then whisk in the milk to a thick sauce. Off the heat, add the cheese, mushroom soup, mustard and lemon.

Preheat the oven to 185°C. Layer ragu, pasta sheets and cheese sauce, finishing with cheese sauce and extra grated cheese. Bake 40-50 minutes until golden, rest 10 minutes and serve with salad.
