The Recipe (this is a completely made up recipe, so I'm sorry if measurements aren't exact.)

Ingredients (mince) 1x large onion, finely chopped 2x cloves of garlic, finely chopped/crushed 4x rashes of bacon, chopped into pieces 800g of minced beef 2x tins of chopped tomatoes 2tbsp tomato puree 1x beef stock cube Mixed herbs, as much or as little as you desire 1/2 a tomato tin of water

Ingredients (white sauce) 2tbsp butter 2tbsp plain flour 2 1/2 cups milk salt and white pepper Optional- I also add a handful of grated cheese.

Lasagna sheets 1x ball of mozzarella extra cheese

Method

Mince In a large sauce pan soften onion in olive oil, about 8mins. Add garlic and cook for a further 2mins. Take out of the pan, and keep to one side. Brown mince. Once browned add the bacon, the cooked onion/garlic, tinned tomatoes- measure roughly 1/2 can of water, tomato puree, mixed herbs, crumble stock cube into the mix. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer, leave for 30-40mins, stirring every so often. Don't worry if it looks really watery, the final result will be gorgeous and thick.

White sauce Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and gradually stir in the milk to get a smooth sauce. Return to the heat and, stirring all the time, bring to the boil. Simmer gently for 8-10 minutes and season with salt and pepper. I usually add a handful of grated cheese because I'm greedy.

Building you lasagna You can see the dish I use in the photo, it's not the most desirable lasagna building dish. Ideally you need a square one, mine has rounded edges. Start with a layer of mince, then a layer of lasagna sheets, then white sauce and repeat. I get about 3 layers. The top should be lasagna sheets and white sauce. I then sprinkle cheese and tear the mozzarella over it. Cover with tin foil and bake for 20mins at 200degrees. After the 20mins are up remove tin foil and bake for a further 20mins. This will make the top golden, crispy and delicious! Serve.
