Mary Berry Sausage Lasagne Recipe

Mary Berry Sausage Lasagne

Mary Berry Sausage Lasagne is a British-style twist on traditional lasagne. Instead of beef mince, pork sausages are used to create a richer, more rounded sauce. The dish is layered with a tomato-based sausage sauce, smooth white sauce, lasagne sheets, and a light cheese topping. Once baked, it becomes soft, creamy, and deeply satisfying, with flavours that feel homely rather than heavy.

Ingredients

  • Sausages – 450 g (skins removed)

  • Onion – 1 medium, finely chopped

  • Garlic cloves – 2, crushed

  • Tinned chopped tomatoes – 400 g

  • Tomato purée – 2 tablespoons

  • Dried oregano or mixed herbs – 1 teaspoon

  • Lasagne sheets – 9 to 12 sheets (depending on dish size)

  • Butter – 50 g

  • Plain flour – 50 g

  • Milk – 600 ml

  • Cheddar or mozzarella cheese – 100 g, grated

  • Salt – to taste

  • Black pepper – to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the sausages – Remove the skins and break the meat into small pieces.

  • Cook the base – Fry the sausage meat with chopped onion until lightly browned.

  • Add aromatics – Stir in garlic, tomato purée, tomatoes, and herbs, then simmer for 10–15 minutes.

  • Make the white sauce – Melt butter, stir in flour, then gradually whisk in milk until thick and smooth.

  • Layer the lasagne – Spoon sausage sauce into the dish, add pasta sheets, then white sauce, repeating the layers.

  • Finish the top – Spread the final layer of white sauce and scatter grated cheese evenly.

  • Bake until ready – Cook at 180°C (160°C fan) for 35–40 minutes until bubbling and lightly golden.
