Method
- Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan. Add the chopped onion and garlic and fry gently for 10 minutes until soft. Add the pepperoni or chorizo and fry for 2-3 minutes.
- Increase the heat, add the red wine vinegar, then stir in the tomatoes, sugar, oregano and 200ml water. Bring to the boil, season, then simmer gently for 15-20 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Stir in the shredded basil leaves and season. Mix all 4 cheeses together in a bowl.
- Spread half of the chorizo sauce over the base of a 2-litre ovenproof dish. Top with a layer of lasagne sheets and scatter over half of the mixed cheeses. Repeat the layers, finishing with cheese. Cool, wrap in cling film, then freeze for up to 3 months.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Bake in the oven from frozen for 1 hour until bubbling around the edges.
