Classic Italian dessert of espresso-soaked ladyfingers layered with mascarpone cream and dusted with cocoa powder.

Ingredients

  • 600g pancetta
  • 1 cup pizza dough
  • 2 tsp sliced leeks
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • a generous handful of baby spinach
  • a handful of fresh sage, chopped
  • extra-virgin olive oil, for serving
  • 500ml whole milk

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven (or set up your steamer or frying station) and lightly grease your pan or molds with extra-virgin olive oil.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the fresh lasagna sheets and red pepper flakes until evenly combined.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, blend the pine nuts with the dry white wine until smooth and well incorporated.

  4. 4

    Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, taking care not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Transfer everything to your prepared pan or molds and cook — bake, steam, chill, or fry — until set, about 0 mins.

  6. 6

    Remove from the heat and let it cool completely; this helps the texture firm up perfectly.

  7. 7

    Garnish with rosemary or a dusting of mascarpone.

Tips

For the cleanest slices, chill the finished dessert thoroughly before cutting.

Bring your pine nuts to room temperature before mixing for a smoother, more even texture.
