Easy lasagne

Serve comfort and joy with our easy lasagne recipe, with its rich tomato sauce and bubbly, cheesy top. Pair with garlic bread and fresh basil.

The lasagne is a beloved, classic dish for a reason. It tastes like pure comfort with its flavourful sauce and cheesy topping. Make ahead of time and freeze, placing it in the oven for a simple mid-week meal to serve the family. Remove the prosciutto and swap out the beef mince and stock for a vegetarian equivalent to make this vegetarian friendly.

What you'll need...

  • 750g beef mince
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 3 celery sticks, chopped
  • 90g prosciutto
  • 200ml beef stock
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 800g passata or chopped tomatoes
  • 300g lasagne sheets
  • 1 jar of store-bought white sauce
  • 75g mature cheddar cheese, grated
  • 125g ball of mozzarella
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Handful of fresh basil, for garnish

Method

  1. Heat a large frying or sauté pan, add oil and cook the mince until browned all over. Add the onion, garlic and celery and cook until softened. Cut the prosciutto and add, stirring through the mixture and cooking for a further 5 mins. 

  2. Pour over the passata or tins of chopped tomato and hot beef stock. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 mins. 

  3. Heat the oven to 180C / 160C fan / gas 4. Lightly oil the edges of an ovenproof dish. 

  1. Time to layer. Spoon some of the mince mixture into the bottom of the dish, then cover with lasagne sheets. Pour over some of the ready-made white sauce, ensuring that that the pasta layer is covered. 

  2. Repeat until you have 3 layers of pasta and cover the top with the remaining white sauce – you shouldn’t be able to see any pasta poking through. Scatter the mature cheddar cheese and torn mozzarella over the top. If you have any remaining prosciutto, feel free to arrange on top.  

  3. Bake for 40-45 mins, until the top is lightly browned and bubbling. Serve with fresh basil on top and a side of garlic bread for a true, comforting feast.
