Increase heat to high. Add beef mince, break up continuously, cook 4 minutes until browned and moisture evaporates. Stir in tomato purée, cook 1 minute until darkened.

4

Simmer

Pour in red wine, simmer 2 minutes until reduced by half. Add chopped tomatoes, stock, oregano, and basil. Season well. Simmer uncovered over low heat 25 minutes until ragù is thick and deeply colored.

In a small deep baking dish (approximately 8 x 10 inches / 20 x 25 cm), layer ragù, lasagne sheets, and ricotta mixture, repeating until used. Finish with ricotta layer topped with remaining Parmesan. Cover with foil.
