step 1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Remove the peas (200 g) from the freezer and allow them to defrost.
step 2
Add the béchamel sauce (1 jar) to a saucepan over a medium heat. Simmer for 5 minutes, until bubbling. Turn off the heat and stir in the four cheeses (120 g) and mix until melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
step 3
Mix the peas, ricotta (1 tub) and pesto (5 tbsp) in a mixing bowl.
step 4
Add a spoonful of the béchamel to the base of a 28cm rectangular baking dish. Top with one-quarter of the ricotta and peas mixture, followed by one-quarter of the ham (50 g).
step 5
Top with a layer of lasagne sheets (1 pack), then repeat using up the remaining peas, ricotta and ham (150 g) to make four layers in total.
step 6
Cover the final sheets of pasta with another spoonful of béchamel, a swirl of pesto and the parmesan (1 tub). Bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown.
