Ingredients

  • 1 kg medium potatoes, peeled
  • 300 g minced beef
  • 200 g salsiccia fresh Italian pork sausage
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 3 sticks celery, finely diced
  • 150 g carrots, finely diced
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 5 tbsp tomato purée
  • 200 ml beef stock
  • 200 ml whipping cream (38% fat) or a lighter cream, if you prefer
  • 7 sprigs fresh basil, finely chopped
  • 40 g Parmesan, finely grated
  • 100 g mozzarella, drained
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • Oil
  • A little red wine vinegar optional

Instructions

  • Boil the potatoes in a pan of salted water for about 8-10 minutes – or until almost tender. Drain and leave to cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, brown the minced beef and salsiccia well in a splash of oil in a frying pan or saucepan.
  • Add the onion, garlic, celery and carrots and fry until the onion is translucent.
  • Sprinkle over the dried herbs and stir in the tomato purée, season with salt and freshly ground pepper and heat through thoroughly.
  • Add the stock and cream and let the sauce simmer gently for about 5 minutes. Stir in the fresh basil and season to taste with salt, freshly ground pepper and a little red wine vinegar, if you like.
    Meanwhile, slice the potatoes.
  • Grease an ovenproof dish with oil and arrange half the potato slices in a tight layer in the bottom. Top with half the meat sauce and sprinkle over the Parmesan.
  • Continue with the next and final layer of potatoes and meat sauce, and finally scatter the mozzarella over the top.
  • Gently mix the topping together with two forks, then bake in a preheated conventional oven (top and bottom heat) at 200°C for about 25 minutes.
  • Let the bake rest for 10 minutes before serving.
