  1. Heat oil in a frying pan. Add fresh chicken mince and garlic and cook 4-5 minutes over medium-high heat. Add the basil and tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce is slightly thickened. Season to taste.

  2. To make the white sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Stir in the flour and cook over medium heat, stirring until blended. Add the bay leaf and wine and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly. Continue stirring over medium heat until the sauce boils and thicken.

  3. To assemble lightly grease a 20x15 (or thereabouts) rectangular ovenproof dish. Add a spoonful of the chicken mince sauce and spread in a thick layer to just cover the bottom of the dish. Add a sheet of lasagne and top this with one third of the mince followed by one third of the white sauce. Repeat twice, ending with a layer of white sauce. Top with parmesan.

  4. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the lasagne is golden brown and bubbling. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. For this recipe and many more visit
