Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
Chop up all the vegetables and fry with the olive oil, garlic and herbs for 5 minutes or until the onion is softened. Stir in the tomatoes and simmer for 15 minutes.
To make the cheese sauce: Melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the flour until it resembles a paste. Add the milk bit by bit until the paste is all stirred in. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens. After that stir in the grated cheese until it has all melted in.
Get a casserole dish and put a thin layer of the vegetable mix on the bottom. Top with a layer of the lasagne sheets and put some of the cheese sauce on top. Repeat until the dish is full. Top with grated cheese and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
