Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Mix the onion, fennel, potatoes, courgette, red pepper and parsley in a bowl with the flour and plenty of seasoning.
Spread a third of the mixture in the bottom of a 1.5 litre ovenproof dish and scatter over half the ham. Dollop over half the ricotta and a third of the mozzarella. Add another layer of vegetables, then layer up more ham, ricotta and mozzarella, saving the last third of the mozzarella for adding later.
Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, then remove the foil and scatter on the Parmesan and remaining mozzarella. Bake for 20 minutes until golden, then serve.
