Making Lasagna is quite simple. The main ingredient is getting the tomato, beef mixture right. Its a bit like cooking pasta and adding the sauce over, but just one more step to it - adding the cheese.
- minced beef ( I bought 2 packets frozen from supermarket). You can substitute with minced chicken/pork if you don't eat beef.
1) Put oil into pot and fry the onions , carrots and bell peppers. The carrots and bell peppers are optional as it depends on your preference. If you want your family to have some greens, but they may not like it, I suggest, finely dicing it..so fine that they wont even notice its there.
2) Once the onions is translucent, you can add the minced garlic and beef. I add the garlic late because I do not want the garlic to burn as it gets black easily.
3) After tossing and frying the beef for a short while, throw in the canned tomatoes and paste all in.
4) Add in the dried herbs...about one teaspoon each. Add salt, sugar and black pepper to taste.
6) Let it simmer until the whole thing is thick and does not have so much water/juice.
8) Get ready your tray and spray with oil first at the base.
9) Put the lasagna sheets in the tray. Lay all on the base.
11) Then put the cheese on top of the tomato beef mixture.
12) Then repeat the process by putting the lasagna sheets on top of the cheese.
15) Put into the preheated over at about 180C for about 20-30 mins.
16) Check at about 15-20 mins to see if the cheese is brown. If it is, I suggest putting a piece of aluminium foil over the tray just to cover it, preventing the top from becoming burnt.
