Classic Lasagne

Classic Lasagne

A family favourite that’s as tasty as it is satisfying. This recipe has some great shortcuts, making it nice and easy; and it’s versatile - the sauce can also be used for a bolognese or chilli con carne.

INGREDIENTS

SERVES: 6

For the bolognese sauce:

500g 5% fat beef mince

1 carrot

1 mug of frozen onions

1 mug of frozen sliced mixed peppers

2 tbsp tomato purée

1 tin of chopped tomatoes

2 tbsp low-salt gravy granules

 

To assemble:

2 x 25g sachets of white sauce mix

2 mugs semi-skimmed milk

40g grated mozzarella cheese

9 sheets of lasagne

METHOD

1: Heat a large, deep, non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Once hot, tip in the mince and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for around 10 minutes, until the mince is evenly browned.

2: Peel and grate the carrot, then add this along with the frozen onions and peppers to the pan. Cook for a few minutes more to soften, stirring often.

3: Once the onions are soft, add the tomato purée and cook for 2-3 minutes. Pour in the chopped tomatoes, then fill the tin with water and add to the pan. Stir in the gravy granules. Bring it to a gentle bubble and cook over a low-medium heat, stirring often, for around 45 minutes until the sauce has thickened.

4: Pop the oven on at 180C, then make the white sauce. Pour the milk into a pan and add the white sauce powder. Whisk together until the sauce thickens, as per the packet instructions.

5: Now build the lasagne. Into a deep ovenproof dish, spoon in a good layer of the sauce, then lay on 3 sheets of lasagne and spoon over a nice covering of the white sauce. Repeat this process 2 more times, making sure to cover the final layer of lasagne sheets just with white sauce. Sprinkle over the cheese and a bit of pepper, then cook in the hot oven for 45 minutes.

6: Then serve it onto plates and enjoy!
