This easy recipe is perfect for a cold winter’s day when you feel like lasagne but don’t feel like waiting. On the table in 35 minutes, it’s super-comforting, with silky sheets of pasta, tasty meatballs and gooey melted cheese.

500g beef mince
1/4 cup (20g) finely grated parmesan
1 tsp mixed dried herbs (we used oregano, thyme and sage)
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 bay leaves
700g bottle tomato passata
1 chicken stock cube, crumbled
5 cups (1.5L) boiling water
250g fresh lasagne sheets, torn into large pieces
220g bocconcini, drained, torn
Basil leaves, to serve

Method

1.

Mix mince, parmesan and dried herbs in a large bowl. Season with salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper.
2.

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Break off heaped 1 tbs portions of mince and press into rough balls before adding to pan. Cook, tossing occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until browned all over. Set aside on a plate with a slotted spoon.
3.

Reduce heat to medium. Add onion, garlic and bay leaves and cook, stirring often, for 8 minutes, or until golden. Return beef to pan with passata, stock cube and the boiling water, carefully using some of the boiling water to rinse the bottle of passata and add to the pan. Stir to combine. Bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Add the pasta and stir through the soup. Increase heat to high and simmer for 2 minutes, or until pasta is just tender. Remove from heat and immediately stir through most of the bocconcini (it will soften and slightly melt with the heat).
4.

Divide between bowls and sprinkle with remaining bocconcini and basil leaves to serve.
