• Step 2
  Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add mince. Cook, breaking up lumps with a wooden spoon, for 6 to 8 minutes or until browned. Add sauce and wine. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until thickened. Cool for 30 minutes.
• Step 3
  Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan-forced. Grease a 4.5cm-deep, 16.5cm x 22cm (base) and 20.5cm x 26cm (top) roasting pan.
• Step 4
  Punch dough down. Press 3/4 of the dough over base, sides and rim of prepared pan. Combine crème fraîche and 1/2 cup parmesan in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Place 1 lasagne sheet over dough, trimming to fit. Top with 1 cup mince mixture, spreading to cover. Drizzle with 1/3 of the crème fraîche mixture. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup mozzarella. Repeat layers twice more, finishing with a lasagne sheet.
• Step 5
  Roll out remaining dough between 2 sheets of baking paper to form a 20cm x 25cm rectangle. Place dough over lasagne sheet. Join dough edges together, pleating to seal. Brush top with butter. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and parmesan. Season. Bake for 40 minutes or until golden (cover with foil if over-browning). Stand for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve with salad.
