Step by step

Bolognase sauce

  1. Finely chop the onion and grate the carrot and cook in a little oil.
  2. When soft add the mince and mix until it’s brown all over.
  3. Add the tomatoes, tomato puree, mixed herbs and a little pepper.

Cheese sauce

  1. Melt butter then add a generous tablespoon of plain flour and mix it in.
  2. Add a small amount of milk and mix, add some more and mix – you may end up using about a pint of milk and as it gets hot it will thicken up.
  3. Then add a big handful of grated cheddar cheese to make it a cheese sauce.

Put together

  1. Put all the bolognaise in an oven dish – roughly crumble over a pack of dry lasagne sheets and mix well with a large spoon.
  2. When completely coated pour your cheese sauce on top.
  3. Finally sprinkle with grated cheese.
  4. Place in oven at 180 for 30 mins.  Or cover and freeze.
