Method
- To make your lasagne, pre-heat the oven to 190°C / fan oven 170°C / Gas 5.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan and add the red onion, leeks and pepper. Cook over a medium-high heat, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened – about 4-5 minutes. Season with a little pepper, add the ham and chorizo sausage, then stir in the tomato sauce for lasagne with roasted onion and garlic.
- Tip half the ham and vegetable mixture into a large rectangular baking dish, measuring about 26cm x 20cm. Arrange 3 lasagne sheets on top, then spread half the creamy sauce for lasagne over them.
- Repeat the layers, then sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the surface.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until cooked and golden brown. Allow to stand for a few minutes, then serve.
