| Instructions |
| Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas 4. In a large casserole-type pan slowly fry the pancetta and cinnamon until golden, then add the onion, carrot, garlic and herbs and about 4 tbsp of olive oil. Mix together, then add the beef and pork. Cook for about 5 minutes, then add the tinned tomatoes and the wine or water. |
Add the bay leaves and bring to the boil. Then get some greaseproof paper, wet it and place it on top of the pan with a lid placed on top as well. Then place in the preheated oven for 2 hours or simmer on the hob over a gentle heat for around 1 ½ hours.
|
| Rub your butternut squash slices with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper and the bashed-up coriander seeds and chilli. Place on a baking tray and roast in the oven for the last 45 minutes of cooking the sauce. When the sauce is done, season to taste and put to one side. |
| Mix together your crème fraiche, anchovies, and a handful of Parmesan, and season with salt and pepper. You may need to loosen the mixture with a little milk. |
| Turn the oven to 200C/400F/gas 6. To assemble the lasagne, rub an earthenware lasagne dish with olive oil, lay some sheets of lasagne over the bottom and drape them over the sides. |
| Add a layer of meat, a little white sauce and a sprinkling of Parmesan. |
| Break the butternut squash into pieces and use this as one layer, then repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of pasta covered in white sauce. |
| Tear over the mozzarella and sprinkle with some extra Parmesan. |
Cook in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes.
