Lasagne for 4

Gemma April 09, 2017 In the kitchen Leave a Comment

I love making this one. The kitchen smells great for ages and when you come home after a late day at work, you can smell it from the front of the apartment block. All around you are envious.

Ingredients:

  • Spanish onion ( as much as you like)
  • 2 -3 cloves of garlic
  • cheese ( for best results, use vintage cheese)
  • your preferred mince. ( the pictures use turkey mince)
  • lasagne sheets
  • can or jar of your preferred tomato paste/sauce
  • Plain flour
  • butter/ margarine
  • Milk ( full cream)

Step 1: Heat up the pan on the stove with some olive oil (I prefer garlic infused olive oil). Chop up the onions (fine) and mince the garlic cloves. Add to the pan with some chopped basil and oregano herbs.

Step 2: Once the onions and herbs start to sizzle, add the mince (I add a full packet of turkey mince). Cook until brown.

 

Step 3: Once the meat is browned, add in your pasta sauce of preference and turn the heat down to medium to allow the sauce to thicken. Once thickened, then reduce the heat to low and leave to simmer.

 

Step 4: As the meat simmers, you can then start on the cheese sauce. (You follow the same steps, as those mentioned in the “Corned Beef/Silverside” post).

 

Step 5: With both the sauce and the meat ready, you can assemble the lasagne. Start with a deep flat dish and add in a spoonful of the mince into the bottom of the dish. This will prevent the lasagne from sticking to the bottom.

 

Step 6: Grab 2 of the lasagne sheets and lay into the base of the dish. Trim the sheets as necessary to fit.

 

Step 6: Then begin layering. Add in a layer of mince, followed by the lasagne sheets, followed by the cheese sauce. Then repeat 1 more time.

 

 

Step 7: Add herbs of your choice on the top for flavour and sprinkle with vintage cheese.

 

Step 8: Place in the oven  at 160 degrees for 1 hour. For the last 15 mins, turn up the heat to 200 degrees to give the top a crispy finish.

 

Step 9: Leave to cool for 10-15 mins (This is essential, so that when slice the lasagne, it does not fall apart).

Step 10: Slice, serve, enjoy!
