Sweet potato lasagne with scallops and blue cheese sauce
1 hour 10 minutes
A simple sweet potato lasagne with sauteed scallops and topped with a rich blue cheese sauce. I had this meal as an entree at a Christmas function and have been trying to replicate the recipe ever since. This is a main meal as it is quite rich and filling.
