Method

To make the ragù:
Remove the casings from the sausages and break up the meat into small pieces. Heat the oil on medium heat in a large frypan and add the pieces of sausage. Cook for about 5 minutes until the meat has cooked through, stirring every minute or so, then add the wine. Let that cook off.
Add the cinnamon, chilli and the Mutti Passata. Turn the heat down to low and allow the flavours to infuse as it cooks. After about 10 minutes, add the frozen peas and stir through. Stir occasionally, adding a bit of water if it looks dry. The sauce will take another ten minutes to cook after you have added the peas.
Season with salt and chilli. Set aside to cook whilst you prepare the pasta.
To make the lasagne:
Preheat the oven to 200C. Cook the lasagne in boiling water according to the instructions and lay on clean tea towels. Pat dry.
Grease an oven-proof dish with butter (mine measured 20 x 30 cm). Place a couple of spoonfuls of ragù on the base making sure it is well covered. Spread a layer of cooked lasagne sheets evenly on the ragù and scatter parmesan on top. Add some more ragù and a couple of teaspoons of cream. Then add another layer of pasta, scattering more parmesan and thinly sliced mozzarella on top. Repeat until all the ingredients have been used up.
Cover the top layer with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover in foil and rest for another ten minutes before serving the lasagne.

Lasagne is an important part of Italian cuisine

Originally lasagne is said to date back all the way to the Middle Ages. However, there is also proof that even ancient Romans enjoyed some sort of lasagne. Today lasagne might be one of the most famous and loved Italian dishes around the world. Many of us have memories of eating lasagne as a child and for many families lasagne is still a common part of their monthly “menu”. Actually lasagne is so popular that even the comic cat Garfield calls it one of his favourite meals.

Lasagne is a dish of many forms and names

Like many other Italian dishes, lasagne also has its variations. In some parts of Italy, lasagne may contain even small meatballs whereas in other parts even the color of the lasagne sheets can be different. Green pasta sheets for example are made by mixing vegetables in the dough. The cheese used in lasagne varies depending on the recipe on is using and can either mozzarella or ricotta or a combination of these.

What comes to the name lasagne, that also has its alternatives based roughly on geographical factors. Lasagne is the term used more often in British English and in northern Italy and lasagna in turn in American English and in the south of Italy.
