    Heat the oil in a pan and cook the sausagemeat, breaking it up into small bits. Season, then cook until golden and a little crisp. Add the onion and cook until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the squash and cook for a few minutes until starting to soften at the edges.

  • step 3

    To make the béchamel, melt the butter, then stir in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes or until lightly golden. Gradually stir in the milk to make a sauce. Season, then add 60g of the manchego.

  • step 4

Cut the lasagne sheets in half widthways, then spoon 1 tbsp of the turkey mix over each sheet before rolling up to make a cannelloni. Line up the cannelloni join-side down in the dish. Spoon over the rest of the béchamel then scatter over the remaining manchego. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and bubbling.
