- 3 tbsp fresh chopped basil, plus extra for serving

How do I make it?
- Preheat oven to 190C.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil into a large frying pan. Heat over medium-high heat, add beef mince and onion and cook until meat is browned.
- Add crushed tomatoes, garlic, basil, oregano and 1 tablespoon olive oil and stir. Season with salt and pepper and cover with a lid and leave to simmer.
- Place lasagne noodles in a large pot of boiling water for 45 seconds to 1 minute to soften slightly. The lasagne needs to be soft enough to roll.
- Drain lasagne. Line a baking tray with baking paper and give the paper a light spray with non-stick cooking spray. Place each piece of lasagne on the paper, lined up in a row.
- Stir together ricotta, egg, salt and pepper with a fork until well combined. Add chopped parsley, 2 cups mozzarella and ½ cup parmesan and mix well.
- Spread 1/3 cup of meat mixture into the bottom of a baking dish.
- Spread a thin layer of the ricotta mix over each lasagne noodle and then spread a heaped tablespoon of the meat sauce along the top of the cheese.
- Starting at the short end roll the lasagne to form a roll-up. Repeat for each piece. Arrange pieces seam-side down on top of the meat mixture in the baking dish. Cover lasagne roll-ups with any remaining meat mixture and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and parmesan.
- Bake in oven for 30 minutes and then serve.
