SAUSAGE MEATBALL LASAGNE

Keep the sauces separate, and layer them between the lasagne sheets. Finish with a layer of white sauce and top with the mozzarella. The freezing instructions and cooking times stay the same.

I like a robust stew with a bit of punch, and when chicken is on the menu, smoked paprika is my spice of choice. It adds smoky depth, which is balanced perfectly here with the sweet tomatoes. Beans bolster the dish, making a meal of what could otherwise be a soup, plus greens pack in some nutrients. A hearty bowl of chicken stew should always come with something starchy for soaking up the juices. My carb of choice here is a wedge of bread – if it’s slathered in garlic butter, all the better.
