step by step

Method

  1. Soften the onion and garlic

    • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-based pan over medium heat.
    • Add the onion and any optional finely chopped vegetables (carrot, zucchini or capsicum).
    • Cook for 2–3 minutes, then add the garlic and season with salt and pepper.
    • Cook for another 2 minutes, or until softened.
    Step 1

  2. Brown the beef mince

    • Increase the heat to high.
    • Add the beef mince and cook for around 5 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks, until browned.
    Step 2

  3. Build the sauce

    • Add the bolognese sauce, chicken stock, ricotta, cottage cheese and Italian herbs.
    • Season with a little more salt and pepper, then mix well and cook for 5 minutes.
    Step 3

  4. Add the lasagna sheets

    • Tear or snap the lasagna sheets into smaller pieces and add them to the pan.
    • Using tongs, gently submerge the sheets into the sauce, changing directions and distributing them as evenly as possible. It doesn't need to be perfect.
    Step 4

  5. Simmer until the pasta is cooked

    • Place the lid on and cook over the lowest heat according to the lasagna sheet packet instructions (about 20 minutes).
    • Check the bottom occasionally to make sure it isn't catching, and add a splash of extra stock if the sauce becomes too thick.
    • Use a fork to check that the pasta is cooked — it should pierce the lasagna sheets easily.
    Step 5

  6. Melt the cheese

    • Top with the mozzarella.
    • Place the lid back on until the cheese has melted, or if your pan is oven-safe, place it under the grill for around 5 minutes until golden and bubbling.
    Step 6

  7. Finish and serve

    • Finish with fresh basil and Parmesan.
    • Serve straight from the pan.
