1. Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Fry the onion and garlic in 4 tbsp olive oil until softened but not coloured. Stir in the tomatoes, season and bubble for about 15-20 minutes or until the sauce is thickened and glossy. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil.
2. Pour a layer of the tomato sauce into a large rectangular baking dish and cover with a layer of lasagne sheets. Arrange one-third of the mascarpone and mozzarella over the lasagne and spoon over another layer of sauce. Cover with lasagne sheets. Repeat the layers. Finally, add a last layer of lasagne, spoon over the remaining tomato sauce and dot the last third of the mascarpone and mozzarella evenly across the top. Add a grinding of black pepper and bake for about 40 minutes or until the lasagne layers are soft when tested with the point of a knife, and the cheese is golden and bubbling.

Using dried lasagne

If you are using dried lasagne, even the no-cook kind, cook it for about 10 minutes first in boiling water, or it will soak up too much of the sauce and you'll end up with a dry lasagne.

  Really, really good. Had a great flavour and was eay to make. Hardest bit was finding the tinned cherry tomatoes (Tesco's finest). Worth it though!

  I added a sprinkling of fried bacon pieces inbetween the layers to add some more flavour, the kids loved it. Would definitely make again.

  Really nice recipe, but I find that 3 tins of tomatoes doesn't quite go far enough.

  Following 'Kirsty's' comment I used 4 tins of toms. As also added a few mock bacon rashers chopped up (I'm veggie). It was yummy.
