Lasagne

Very nice and relaxing to make!

Ingredients

• Lasagne sheets (doesn’t matter if they are not fresh)
• Minced Beef
• Garlic Clove or Powdered garlic (can buy in herbs/spices section)
• White sauce (or make your own – flour, milk, butter and seasoning, i.e. salt and pepper)
• Cheese
• Onion (I tend to either use onion OR garlic)
• Tinned Tomatoes (already chopped)
• Basil (plenty of it) – doesn’t have to be fresh
• Oregano (same that I said about Basil)
• Black Pepper
• Olive Oil
• Plain Flour
• N.B. Instead of Basil you can use Pesto (can be expensive and doesn’t last very long)
• Use can also add Carrots / Bacon / Wine if you want. Add to mince with Onion / Garlic

STEP 10:

10. Get a suitable Oven dish that will hold a suitable depth. Pour a layer of the frying pan mix into the bottom, cover with Lasagne Sheets, then cover this with White sauce. Keep doing this until you are a cm from the top of the dish. White sauce must be the very top layer.
