chorizo and ricotta lasagne

with crispy oregano

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra, for drizzling
  • 600g chorizo, casings removed
  • 2 cups (560g) tomato puree (passata)
  • 1 cup (250ml) water
  • sea salt and cracked black pepper
  • 1½ cups (360g) fresh ricotta
  • ½ cup (15g) finely grated parmesan
  • 1½ cups (150g) grated mozzarella
  • 400g fresh lasagne sheets, trimmed
  • 6 sprigs oregano
  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon, for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Add the tomato puree, water, salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Place the ricotta, parmesan and 1 cup (100g) of the mozzarella in a medium bowl and mix to combine.
  2. Place 1 lasagne sheet in each base of 2 x 2½-cup-capacity (625ml) ovenproof dishes. Divide half of the chorizo mixture, then half of the cheese mixture between the two dishes. Top each with a second lasagne sheet, the remaining chorizo mixture and the remaining cheese mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella. Place on a large oven tray and cook for 15 minutes or until cheese is golden and bubbling.
  3. While the lasagnes are cooking, place the oregano on a small oven tray and drizzle with extra oil. Cook for 1 minute or until crisp. Top the lasagnes with the oregano to serve. Serves 4
