A child's favourite Italian dish that can also be served as a vegetarian option, seafood or even low fat turkey mince. Served with a crisp side salad for a great rounded dish.

Ingredients
  • 1 medium onion (150g), finely diced
  • 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 600g lean minced beef
  • 700ml water to braise the mince
  • 2 medium carrots (200g), grated
  • 1 tsp. oregano
  • 400g MAGGI® Rich & Rustic Tomato Sauce
  • 5g fresh basil, chopped
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 550g lasagne sheets, wholegrain
  • 600ml water (for béchamel)
  • 90g MAGGI® Béchamel Sauce
  • 20g Parmesan cheese,
  • 100g cheddar cheese, grated
Preparation
  • 1
    Preheat the oven temperature to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

  • 3
    Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
  • 4
    Add the mince to the pan followed by 700ml cold water and bring to the boil and skim any excess fat from the surface.
  • 5
    Add the oregano and continue to cook until the water has completely evaporated and the meat is tender.
  • 6
    Add the tomato sauce, stir, and simmer for 10 minutes. Mix the basil into the sauce and season with pepper to taste.
  • 7
    Cover the base of a deep roasting tin with quarter of the meat sauce and cover with a layer of lasagne sheets. Repeat the process, adding another layer of sauce and lasagne sheets. Ensure to finish with a layer of lasagne sheets.

    Whisk the béchamel powder with 150ml cold water in a bowl until smooth. Place the remaining water into a sauce pan and bring to the boil.
  • 9
    Whisk the sauce mixture into the boiling water and simmer for 3 minutes, then add the grated cheeses. Top the lasagne with the sauce.

Use roughly diced onions and blitz in the food processor; this saves time chopping and blends well into the mince sauce.
