Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, onion, carrot and celery and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
2. Turn the heat to high. Add the beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until no red remains.
3. Add about two-thirds of the passata, plus the remaining meat sauce ingredients. Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower to medium-low and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan-forced).
5. Pour the sauce flavourings into the passata bottle and shake to combine.
6. Optional: put the ricotta in a bowl, soften it with the back of a spoon, then whisk vigorously for 20–30 seconds until it looks like whipped cream. Smooth ricotta needs little or no whisking.
7. Remove the pan from the heat and scoop half the meat sauce into a bowl.
8. Place one lasagna sheet over the base of the pan, then break sheets and tuck them around the sides. Spread meat sauce from the pan over the sheets.
9. Add another layer of lasagna sheets and spread the reserved meat sauce over them.
10. Add a third layer of lasagna sheets. Pour the topping sauce over, spread it out, add the ricotta in 12–15 dollops (if using), then sprinkle with cheese.
11. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, then rest for 10 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle with parsley (if using) before serving.
