Heat butter and remaining oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add lemon thyme, leeks and pinch of salt. Cook for 10 mins, or until softened. Remove from heat and stir in asparagus, peas and fava beans.
Combine ricotta, mascarpone, pecorino and stock. Season. Spread a little cheese mixture over base of a lasagna dish. Add a layer of lasagna sheets then 1/4 of cheese mixture followed by 1/3 of vegetables. Repeat twice more, finishing with pasta. Spread remaining cheese mixture over top and sprinkle with mozzarella and breadcrumbs. Bake for 1 hour, or until pasta is cooked through and breadcrumbs are golden.
