Method
Starch
1. Combine the prosciutto or ham,
ricotta, breadcrumbs, almonds
and basil and season to taste
with salt and freshly ground
black pepper.
2. Place the butter and lemon zest in a saucepan and heat over a low temperature until the butter has melted and starts to turn brown ? ensure that it doesn't burn and start to smoke.
3. Cook the lasagne sheets in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain the lasagne and, once the sheets are cool enough to handle, cut each one in half.
4. Stack the lasagne sheets on top of one other, placing a spoonful of the ricotta mixture between each one. Spoon the lemon butter on top and garnish with fresh basil and extra prosciutto if desired.
