Thinly sliced herb-roasted pork belly and loin stuffed into a crusty roll drizzled with cooking juices.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg chicken thighs
  • 400g spaghetti
  • 2 tsp sliced shallots
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • a generous handful of San Marzano tomatoes
  • a handful of fresh parsley, chopped
  • mascarpone, to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the fresh lasagna sheets base and set it aside to rest while you get the filling ready.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, combine the fresh mozzarella, baby spinach, sliced shallots, and red pepper flakes, mixing well so everything is evenly seasoned.

  3. 3

    Heat extra-virgin olive oil in a skillet, wok, or on a griddle over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  4. 4

    Cook the fresh lasagna sheets until lightly golden on each side, then transfer to a warm plate.

  5. 5

    Fry, grill, or steam the fresh mozzarella mixture until cooked through and lightly charred at the edges, about 0 mins.

  6. 6

    Assemble by layering the fresh lasagna sheets with the filling, a spoonful of mascarpone, and a scattering of parsley.

  7. 7

    Add a final touch of extra-virgin olive oil for extra flavor and texture.

Tips

Keep the extra-virgin olive oil hot but not smoking — a thermometer helps you nail the perfect frying or grilling temperature.

Serve immediately for the best contrast between a crisp exterior and a warm, tender filling.

Prep all your fillings and toppings before you start cooking, since this dish comes together quickly once the heat is on.
