Ingredients

Method
  • 250 g lasagne sheets
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 3 t butter, cubed
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 cups cream
  • 12 saffron threads
  • 70 g Woolworths Parma ham
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 100 g Parmesan, grated, for serving

1. Break the lasagne sheets in half and cook until al dente in salted boiling water in batches so they don’t stick together. Stir occasionally to loosen. Drain and set aside.

2. Heat the oil and butter in a large pan until the butter has melted. Add the garlic, cream and saffron. Simmer for 3 minutes.

3.  Divide the pasta between 4 bowls, pour over the sauce and add the Parma ham. Season and serve sprinkled with the Parmesan.
