Instructions

1. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place the mince, breadcrumbs, egg and chopped basil in a large bowl. Season well. Use clean wet hands to mix until well combined. Shape heaped tablespoonfuls of the mince mixture into balls. Transfer to prepared tray. Cover and place in the fridge for 30 minutes, if time permits.
2. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the meatballs, in batches, for 5 minutes or until browned, then transfer to a plate.
3. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan forced. Lightly grease a 19 x 26 cm baking dish. Lightly spread one-third of the Napoletana sauce over the base. Cover with a layer of lasagne sheets, breaking the sheets to fit, if necessary. Spread with one-third of the ham, half the meatballs and one-third of the mozzarella. Repeat with half of the remaining Napoletana sauce, another layer of lasagne sheets, half of the remaining ham, the remaining meatballs and half of the remaining mozzarella. Finish with the remaining sauce, lasagne sheets, ham and mozzarella.
4. Pour over the water and sprinkle with the parmesan. Cover with baking paper and foil. Bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil and paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden. Set aside for 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with basil leaves.
