Equipment

Ingredients

  • 500 g (1lb) beef mince
  • onion finely diced
  • 1 stick celery finely diced
  • carrot finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 500 ml (2 cups) beef stock
  • 1 tablespoon tomato puree
  • 400 g (14oz) tinned chopped tomatoes
  • teaspoon mixed herbs
  • 250 g dried lasagne sheets 8-10 sheets
  • 50 ml ( ¼ cup) double cream
  • 60 g ( ½ cup) mozzarella grated
  • 60 g ( ½ cup) cheddar grated

Instructions

  • Add the chopped onion, carrot and celery to the pan and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Stir in the tomato purée and mixed herbs, then add the chopped tomatoes and beef stock. Season to taste.
  • Add the broken lasagne sheets and push them down into the sauce.
  • Stir through the cream.
  • Sprinkle over the cheese and cook until melted, either with the lid on for a few more minutes or under the grill until golden.

Notes

  • No need to pre-cook the lasagne sheets — they cook directly in the sauce
  • Break the pasta into smaller pieces so it cooks evenly
  • Stir occasionally while simmering to stop it sticking to the pan
  • Add a splash of water or stock if the sauce thickens too much
  • Drain excess fat from the mince to avoid a greasy sauce
  • The cream added at the end makes the sauce rich and brings everything together
  • For a golden, bubbly top, finish under the grill instead of just melting the cheese with the lid on
  • Can be made ahead and reheats well with a splash of water or stock
