MediumClassic 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
Preheat your oven (or set up your steamer or frying station) and lightly grease your pan or molds with extra-virgin olive oil.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the fresh lasagna sheets and red pepper flakes until evenly combined.
- 3
In a separate bowl, blend the pine nuts with the dry white wine until smooth and well incorporated.
- 4
Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, taking care not to overmix.
- 5
Transfer everything to your prepared pan or molds and cook — bake, steam, chill, or fry — until set, about 0 mins.
- 6
Remove from the heat and let it cool completely; this helps the texture firm up perfectly.
- 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.
