directions
- Firstly add the oil to a deep frying pan and heat up.
- Add the garlic and onions and cook until soft. You can add some water if you find that the oil dries out too much.
- Add carrots; mince and cook whilst browning. Add rosemary and one beef cube; cook until brown.
- At this point I drain the mince to get rid of some of the oil.
- Add the peppers, mushrooms and herbs then the passata and tinned tomatoes; cook for 15 minutes.
- In a separate pot add the butter to melt, then stir in the flour add the milk; whisk if it becomes lumpy then take it off the heat. Stir until thickened.
- You must take pan off heat, add in the cheese and stir.
- Preheat oven to 180°.
- Grease your dish and add a layer of the red sauce. Add lasagne sheets to cover, then a layer of white sauce.
- On top of this add a layer of red(it doesn't matter if it mixes) cover the top with lasagne sheet, add another layer of white and sprinkle with cheese.
- Put in oven for about 30 minutes.
- If you like this spicy then add some jalapenos to the red sauce once cooked.
