Method

6 steps. Read it through before you start.

01
Get set
Take the chicken out of the fridge 15 minutes before cooking. Pat it dry with paper towels. Wash your hands, board and knife after handling raw chicken. Heat the oven to 190 °C.
02
Cook the ragu
Cook the onion, garlic and carrot for 6 minutes. Add the mince and cook for 8 minutes. Cook until no pink remains and the juices run clear, or 74 °C at the thickest part if you use a thermometer. Add the passata, oregano, salt and pepper and simmer for 12 minutes.
03
White sauce
Melt the butter, stir in the flour for 1 minute, then whisk in the milk. Simmer until thick. Season with nutmeg and salt.
04
Layer
Spread ragu in a dish. Add pasta sheets, white sauce and cheese. Repeat three times.
05
Top
Finish with white sauce, mozzarella and parmesan.
06
Bake
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden. Rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
