Bored of the same old tomatoey lasagne I gave this a go, and it came out as a mishmash of various recipes.
9 lasagne sheets (I soak them to cut down the oven cooking time)
2 x 250g tubs ricotta, mixed with a generous dollop of Greek yogurt and some milk to thin it out and make it go further; plus fresh parsley left over from another recipe, parmesan, nutmeg, salt and pepper
~200g ham on the bone, roughly chopped (I always grab one of these when I see them reduced on the deli counter, usually about £4 for 400g+ of good quality ham and a bone for stock if that's your thing) plus a 90g pack of "cook's ingredients" diced smoked ham (also yellow-stickered) [see note for veggie options]
4 small-medium leeks, chopped small, softened in a pan with oil, garlic powder, mixed herbs; chuck in a couple of handfuls of frozen peas too
about half a jar of red pesto
grated cheddar and more parmesan for the top
I layered it up as leeks/peas (drained first), cheese, ham, pasta, pesto, repeated three times over, then finishing with the grated cheese. I thought making a white/cheese sauce would be too overwhelming so went with the pesto instead.
Thumbs up from the family, and without needing a sauce it was ridiculously quick and easy to make. You could possibly sub in something veggie for the ham, like marinated and baked tofu or quorn pieces, or garlicky mushrooms.
