3 Spray the base of a heatproof dish with oil. Lay 1 wrap on base then layer mince, mashed kumara and carrot on top. Spread all of the cottage cheese over another wrap then lay wrap, cottage cheese-side down, on top of carrot. Repeat layering: mince, mashed kumara then carrot on top. Finish with a layer of parmesan.

I used a 400g tin of pasta sauce instead of the passata and it was plenty wet enough. It took a full half hour in the oven to heat through properly. Big serves.
