Minced beef in a tomato ragu sits between layers of pasta sheets, then gets finished with a cheese sauce topping. It's a frozen oven meal from the Cucina range, following a straightforward, Italian-style ready meal format rather than the microwaveable tray dinners elsewhere in the freezer aisle. Expect a layered lasagne structure with sauce, pasta and beef held together in one portion, meant to be heated from frozen until piping hot through the centre. The ragu brings a savoury, slow-cooked depth to the dish, while the cheese sauce on top browns and bubbles as it bakes. It's a solid weeknight option when you want something filling without any prep.
