Ingredients Serves 6

  • 175 g ground beef
  • ¼ yellow onion
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 350 g unsweetened pasata sauce
  • 225 g ricotta cheese
  • ½ egg
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 175 g mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 100 ml parmesan cheese
  • 110 g sliced deli chicken breast
  • 1 tsp mixed herbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (225°C).
  2. Fry off  ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until browned. Stir in pasata sauce and add herbs.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg and salt.
  4. To assemble, spread 1½ cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9 × 13-inch baking dish. Arrange chicken breast slices over the meat sauce.
  5. Spread with one half of the ricotta-cheese mixture. Top with a third of mozzarella-cheese slices.
  6. Spoon 1½ cups of meat sauce over the mozzarella, and sprinkle with ¼ cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, and top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  7. Cover with foil. To prevent sticking, either spray foil with cooking spray, or make sure the foil does not touch the cheese. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 25 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
