Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 400g pack Aberdeen Angus beef mince 5% fat
  • 200g pack Cooks' Ingredients Soffritto
  • 400g can chopped Italian tomatoes with olive oil & garlic
  • 400g can lentils, drained
  • 6 fresh lasagne sheets, halved lengthways
  • 3 tbsp ricotta
  • 40g Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated
  • 6 basil leaves, shredded

Method

  1. Heat ½ tbsp oil in a large ovenproof frying or sauté pan over a high heat. Add the mince, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Season and fry for 5 minutes, until cooked through and no pink meat remains, then tip into a bowl.

  2. Add the remaining ½ tbsp oil to the pan, then add the soffritto and fry over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Return the meat to the pan and stir in the tomatoes, lentils and 200ml water. Simmer for 5 minutes, then nestle in the pasta sheets and simmer for 5 minutes more.

  3. Preheat the grill to high. Mix the ricotta with 1 tbsp Parmigiano. Season and add a splash of water to loosen if needed. Arrange spoonfuls over the lasagne and sprinkle over the remaining Parmigiano. Grill for 5 minutes until golden, then scatter over the basil leaves before serving

Cook’s tip

Bulking up beef mince with cooked tinned lentils is a great way of reducing your red meat intake while still enjoying a protein-rich meal.
