- 300 ml cooking cream
- 2 cups pizza cheese
- 9-12 sheets of dried lasagne
DIRECTIONS
- Heat ELECTRICE FRYPAN on setting 10 and add oil, heat for 1 minute and add onion. Cook 1-2 minutes and add half the mince. Cook stirring until mince is brown and crumbly. Add remaining mince and repeat.
- Stir in pasta sauces; reduce heat to heat setting 8 and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 200C (180C fan-forced)
- Mix together ricotta and cooking cream; spoon out 1 cup of ricotta sauce and set aside for the top layer and reserve ¼ cup of grated cheese.
- Use an 8 cup ceramic baking dish and spoon a quarter of the meat sauce into the base of the dish. Layer with a few spoonfuls of ricotta mixture and a scattering of cheese. Top with lasagne sheets to cover the whole surface. Repeat until all the meat sauce, ricotta sauce and lasagne sheets have been used up.
- Pour over reserved ricotta sauce and spread over the top evenly to cover. Sprinkle over remaining cheese and bake in oven for 45-50 minutes or until pasta is cooked and top is golden and crisp.
- Serve with toss green side salad.
TIPS:
A good way to increase your vegetable intake is to add 1 grated carrot and/or zucchini to the meat before adding pasta sauce. Cook as per recipe.
Try using pork mince for a lighter flavour
