Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan or wok, then cook the onions for 5-10 mins or until they start to colour. Add the chorizo, peppers and some seasoning, and cook for a few mins. Pour in the passata with 150ml water, then cover and cook for 10 mins.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, beat the fromage frais and egg with the cheese, then season.

  • step 3

    Spoon a third of the tomato sauce mixture into the base of a deep lasagne dish. Put 3 sheets of lasagne in a single layer on top, then cover with a third more sauce and 3 more lasagne sheets. Cover with the remainder of the sauce and sheets, then pour the cheese sauce on top. Bake for 40-50 mins until the topping is set and starting to colour. Serve sprinkled with basil leaves.

Absolutely yum! I only used 2 large-ish red peppers and that was plenty. Used around 350ml of greek style yoghurt for the topping and a large egg and it became like a baked yoghurt topping - might try that on a normal lasagne as well! I took the lid off half way through when simmering the passata…

Made this one a lot with a couple of small adjustments. Swapped the peppers for 2 sweet pointed peppers and the fromage frais for 200g of creme fraiche and use any cheese I have handy.
