Ingredients

  • 500 g Chilli Beef Sausages from The Sausage Man™
  • 1 pack of lasagne sheets no-pre cooking
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 1 celery stick
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 250 g mushrooms
  • 1 L tomato sauce
  • 250 g spinach
  • 100 g broccoli
  • 375 g mozzarella
  • 200 g cheddar
  • 1 tbsp sour cream
  • 15 g parsley
  • ½ tsp hot chilli powder
  • 1 tsp basil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Defrost the sausages in a pot of lukewarm water.
  • Cut the onion, celery stick and bell pepper in small cubes. Place them in a large pan or pot with a little bit of oil. Sear them on medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, cut the mushrooms and sausages in small cubes as well. Add them to the pot of veggie and sear them all together for a few more minutes.
  • In another pot, add 2 L of water and as it starts boiling, add the spinach and broccoli. Boil them for another 15 minutes or until the broccoli is soft.
  • When the onions turn translucent, add 1 L of tomato sauce. Add basil, salt and pepper and if you want the lasagne to be a bit spicier add in the hot chilli powder, too. Boil down the sauce until the excess water has evaporated and the sauce is thick enough. If needed, you can mix 2 tbsp of flour with 1 tbsp of oil and add it to the sauce, then boil it for an extra 5 to 10 minutes. Make sure to stir the mixture from time to time so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot.
  • Chop the parsley leaves and add ¾ to the tomato and sausage mixture. Save ¼ for the end.
  • When the spinach and broccoli are cooked, drain them of water and add the sour cream. Using an electric mixer, whisk the spinach, broccoli and sour cream together for a few seconds.
  • Preheat the oven at 180°C on fan.
  • Let both mixtures cool down as you cut the mozzarella in slices and grate the cheddar cheese.
  • In a lasagne ovenware start layering the ingredients by putting a little bit of tomato sauce and the first layer of lasagne sheets. Scoop a few tbsp of the sausage and tomato mixture making an even layer. Add 4-6 mozzarella slices and a bit of the grated cheese for the next layer. Then, place 2 tbsp of the spinach mixture on top and even it out.
  • Continue layering lasagne sheets, the sausage and tomato mixture, the layer of cheeses and the spinach mixture. Save a bit of grated cheddar cheese for later.
  • The last layer should be of lasagne sheets. Cover the ovenware with tin foil and bake it in the oven for 30-40 minutes.
  • In the final 5-10 minutes, uncover the lasagne and add the remaining grated cheddar on top.
  • Remove the lasagne from the oven, sprinkle the remaining parsley on top and wait at least 15 minutes for it to cool down before serving.
  • We recommend serving it with a glass of dry red wine of your choosing. Drink responsibly.
