This is SOOOO delicious, I absolutely LOVE LOVE lasagna, and I love spice so by using these yummy chorizo sausages to give a different flavour and huge amount of spice - its a yes from me!
Ingredients:
375g packet of lasagna sheets
1 large brown onion, diced
2 large garlic cloves, crushed
3 hot chorizo, diced finely
4 pork and fennel sausages, removed from casing
1 cup water
800g canned tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp. Fresh thyme, chopped
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cracked pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp mustard powder
10 basil leaves
2 cups of mozzarella cheese
1 cup parmesan cheese
2 tbsp. olive oil
Directions:
- In a deep pot, heat olive oil over medium to high heat.
- Add onion, garlic and fresh thyme into the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until onion turns translucent.
- Add chorizo and sausages (out of the casing!) and cook for 6-7 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Add tomato paste and cook for a further 1 minute. Add the canned tomatoes and stir through. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, mustard powder and basil leaves and leave to simmer lightly for 15-20 minutes.
- Depending on what lasagna sheets you use, cook according to packet instructions.
- In a deep dish, spoon a small amount of the sauce onto the bottom, edge to edge to ensure nothing sticks. Layer the sheets on the bottom, then top with a layer of the chorizo sauce and a layer of mozzarella.
- On the next layer, add sheets, sauce and top this time with parmesan (whilst layering, change between mozzarella and parmesan)
- Continue layering until you reach the top.
- Cover with al-foil and place into the oven for 30 minutes.
- Serve hot!
