Lasagne

Ingredients:

• 200g of Pasta sheets or however many you need to cover your dish twice
• 70g Parmesan or something similar
• 750g mince
• large onion chopped
• 350g mushrooms chopped
• salt & pepper to taste
• can of tomatoes
• optional chilli & garlic

• 380ml milk
• 50g butter

Method:

Firstly put the sheets of pasta in a pan of boiling water with a dash of olive oil in (this helps the pasta not to stick) and simmer for around 10 – 15 minutes until soft.

Fry the chopped onion and mushrooms for a few minutes until they have gone limp and then add the mince cooking until browned.

Add the tomatoes and garlic and chilli ( if required)

While this is all cooking, make the béchamel sauce.

Pour the milk in a pan and warm, place the butter in another pan and melt adding the flour and mixing until smooth.

Add the milk using a whisk all the time until it goes thicker.

Add the salt & pepper at this stage and remove from the heat.

Remove the pasta and place it on a clean tea towel to dry then layer on the bottom of the dish.

Cover with half of the meat and then spoon over half of the béchamel sauce.

Sprinkle parmesan cheese (or similar) over the top.

Repeat the process

Bake in a preheated oven 200° For 20 – 30 minutes

Allow to stand for at least 10 minutes before serving.
