'Nduja lasagne in rectangle oven dish
Jump to Recipe

This 'nduja lasagne recipe appeared in last month's BBC Good Food magazine.  We really enjoy the rich warm spice that 'nduja gives, so this update on a classic really appealed...and it didn't disappoint!

The end result is a lasagne that is full of flavour with a warm richness that just makes you want to eat the whole dish!!   It's delicious with a fresh green salad and garlic bread on the side. 

Tips

  • Make ahead - the ragu can easily be made earlier in the day or the day before and kept chilled until ready to assemble.   You may just need to bake the lasagne for 10 to 15 minutes more to ensure it's hot right through.   Re-cover with the tin foil if you need to do this to ensure the topping doesn't burn.
  • Freezable – any leftovers can easily be frozen in an airtight container. When ready to use, defrost thoroughly and reheat in the microwave until piping hot.
