ONE DISH LASAGNA WITH LEG HAM & BUFFALO MOZZARELLA
Serves 6
Not a traditional lasagna, but a different take on one. It’s easy, takes very little prep and is great for the whole family. My girls love it, which is a massive win for me.
Ingredients:
2x 700ml bottles of passata
250g fresh lasagne sheets (I used @ranapasta_aus_nz)
250g sliced good quality leg ham
2x 125g balls of fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into slices (or fior di latte)
2-3 cups spinach leaves
1.5 cups fresh grated parmesan cheese
200g artichokes in olive oil, drained and halved (optional)
1 cup fresh basil leaves
Sea salt
Cracked black pepper
Method:
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
In a large roasting dish (mine was 20cmx30cm), spread out a thin layer of passata across the base of the dish. Add some fresh basil leaves. Spread 2 lasagna sheets across the top of the passata, followed by some more passata, pieces of ham and sliced mozzarella. Sprinkle with a third of the parmesan cheese and approx a third of the spinach leaves. Add some more fresh basil and season well. Repeat this process another time. Once you have two full layers, cover the top with the last of the lasagna sheets, some more passata, any mozzarella or parmesan you have left and artichokes (if using).
Bake for 30-35 minutes. The cheese should be golden and bubbling.
