Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tbsp olive oil, plus a little for the dish
750g lean beef mince
90g pack prosciutto
half quantity of our tomato sauce
200ml hot beef stock
a little grated nutmeg
300g pack fresh lasagne sheets
half quantity of our white sauce
125g ball mozzarella, torn into thin strips

Steps:

  • To make the meat sauce, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan and cook 750g lean beef mince in two batches for about 10 mins until browned all over.
  • Finely chop 4 slices of prosciutto from a 90g pack, then stir through the meat mixture.
  • Pour over 800g passata or half our basic tomato sauce recipe and 200ml hot beef stock. Add a little grated nutmeg, then season.
  • Bring up to the boil, then simmer for 30 mins until the sauce looks rich.
  • Heat oven to 180C/fan/160C/gas 4 and lightly oil an ovenproof dish (about 30 x 20cm).
  • Spoon one third of the meat sauce into the dish, then cover with some fresh lasagne sheets from a 300g pack. Drizzle over roughly 130g ready-made or homemade white sauce.
  • Repeat until you have 3 layers of pasta. Cover with the remaining 390g white sauce, making sure you can't see any pasta poking through.
  • Scatter 125g torn mozzarella over the top.
  • Arrange the rest of the prosciutto on top. Bake for 45 mins until the top is bubbling and lightly browned.
