Lasagne



Ohh the yummy layers of lasagne..
and a refreshing spinach and green apple salad

sarah: Kor, dinner..
tom: oo not bad..looks disgustingly delicious..
...and it certainly was=)

The tomato sauce is really simple and quick. Sweat an onion and a couple of cloves of garlic in a pot. Add in about 500g of minced meat (i used pork). And dont bother using extra lean or anything too healthy. Just get the standard..its for best results=) 
After the meat is just cooked, add in a tablespoon of dried herbs such as basil or oregano. Then, add in a can of whole tomatoes. Using a spatula, break up the tomatoes a little. Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes and set it aside.

For the cream sauce, melt some butter in a pot. Mix in a heap tablespoon of flour. Next, pour in some milk and mix gently to combine. You should get a smooth creamy mixture that just falls off your spoon. If its too thick to spread, add in more milk. Lastly, mix in a handful of shredded tasty cheese and salt to taste.(i didnt add any salt because the cheese was quite salty)

In a rectangular dish, spoon just a little of the meat sauce on.(just to lightly coat the bottom of the dish)
Place one layer of instant lasagne sheets on top, followed by more meat sauce, and a layer of the cream sauce. I then layered some fresh basil and shredded cheese on top. Continue the layering process until you have 3 layers of lasagne sheets. The last layer should be the meat sauce. End with a generous sprinkle of cheese..Bake it in a 180C oven for about 30 minutes.
