LASAGNE INGREDIENTS

• 450g Extra Lean Beef Mince

• 400g Tinned Roma Tomatoes

• 1 Onion

• 4 Garlic Cloves

• 1 tbsp Tomato Paste

• 1 tbsp Tomato Ketchup

• 1 tsp Worcester Sauce

• 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano

• 1 Bay Leaf

• Salt and Pepper to taste

• Olive Oil cooking spray

Sauce Ingredients:

• 300 ml Skimmed Milk

• 25g Cornflour

• 40g Low Fat Cheese, shredded

• 2 Lasagna Sheets

• 1/4 tspn Nutmeg

• Salt and Pepper to taste 

STEP BY STEP

1. Heat a large frying pan sprayed with cooking spray.

2. Add the onions and garlic and cook until onion is soft. Then add the beef and use a wooden spoon to break it up, then fry until the beef is lightly browned.

3. Next, add tomatoes, tomato paste, ketchup, Worcester, oregano, and bay leaf, then season with salt and pepper and stir. Allow this to cook while you make the sauce.

4. In a separate pan, add the milk and warm gently, then add the nutmeg, salt and pepper. Once warmed, add a little milk to the corn flour to form a paste, then tip it into the saucepan and whisk. Keep stirring until it begins to bubble and thickens.

5. To assemble the lasagne, we use a large loaf tin (perfect shape and size for this recipe) and put 1/2 of the meat into the bottom, followed by 1 lasagne sheet. Repeat the process with the 2nd half of the meat mixture and top with the sauce and cheese.

6. Cook for 20 – 30 mins until golden brown. Let it cool a little before cutting and serving.
