Carole’s Cookery – Lasagne

Ingredients

  • 1 pack of minced beef OR 1 pack of frozen Quorn mince if you want to make it a vegetarian dish
  • 1 or 2 onions, chopped
  • Oil for frying
  • Mushrooms
  • Peppers
  • Tomatoes
  • Tin of chickpeas (optional)
  • 2 jars of red pasta sauce
  • 2 jars of white sauce
  • Lasagne sheets
  • Grated cheese

Lightly fry the chopped onions.

Add the peppers.

Add the Quorn if using. This doesn’t need as much time to cook as if you were using meat mince.

If you make this with mince beef you’ll need to cook it until the meat turns from red to brown, like this:

Add chickpeas if using.

Add 1 or 2 jars of pasta sauce.

Add the chopped mushrooms and tomatoes and stir in.

Cook over a low to medium heat until the ingredients are soft.

Transfer the ingredients into an ovenproof dish.

Cover with lasagne sheets.

Pour on the white sauce and spread to evenly cover the sheets.

If your dish is deep enough and you want more layers repeat the process and top with another layer of red sauce, lasagne sheets and then white sauce.

Finish off with grated cheese sprinkled on top.

Bake at 180C for 30 to 45 minutes or until topping is golden brown and crisp.

Yum!
