Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190C/Gas 5/fan oven 170C. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan, add the pork and quickly fry until starting to become brown and crumbly. Add the onion, celery, rosemary and wine and bring to the boil. Cover and gently cook for 10 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add the stock, tomato purée, canned tomatoes, and season. Stir well, then bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 30 minutes by which time it will be nicely pulpy. Blend the cornflour to a paste with a few drops of water, then add to the pan and cook briefly until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat.
  3. Tip the Quark into a bowl. Give it a stir, then stir in the milk, nutmeg, seasoning.
  4. Brush a 1.4 litre/2½ pint oblong dish with a little oil. Spoon a third of the meat over the base, then cover with 2 sheets of lasagne, breaking them to fit, if necessary. Try to avoid overlapping. Spread with a third of the sauce, a little parmesan, then 2 more sheets of lasagne. Repeat layers twice more, omitting the last layer of lasagne and finishing with the sauce.
  5. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan and bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden and tender.

    Quark is a low fat soft cheese which can be used to make a low fat cheesecake instead of using curd cheese. Its been used as the topping to make it a healthy alternative to the usual sauce. as I'm dieting, I can't wait to try it as lasagne is normally a no no for me!

    According to my OH, this is one of the worst things I have ever made... Don't be fooled into thinking it is anywhere near as good as an ordinary, full-fat lasagne. I actually found the topping OK but the pork mix was really watery, although did have a nice flavour. I froze half, then reheated in the microwave which did soak up some of the water.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this dish, I did change a couple of things though..I didn't add any stock as there was already enough a liquid, and I made a traditional bechamel as I didn't fancy the idea of the quark...yummy, and will definitely do it again.

    Meat sauce a bit runny but nice flavour. If I make it again I will use bechamel sauce and blow the diet!

    I loved this recipe, I think the quark is great as I don't like the usual bechamel sauce. I would recommend it any day.

    Having read the other comments, I decided to use a fresh supermarket cheese sauce instead of the quark, milk nutmeg etc as the most common disappointment seemed to be the use of low fat cheese! My only gripe is that the sauce was still extremely runny after simmering the sauce for 30 minutes. I whacked it on a higher heat and reduced it down for another 30 minutes which solved the problem, this obviously adds an extra 30 minutes cooking time though. Overall result was very tasty indeed, the use of pork made the dish much lighter than an ordinary beef lasagne. Also use a generous amount of fresh rosemary if possible, fresh is always better anyway!

    Not bothered about fat content, thus made a mascarpone bechemel. Delicious.
