- Heat some oil in a saucepan over medium heat, and fry onions till soft. Add mince and cook till browned.
- Add the tinned tomatoes, tomato puree, stock, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper. Leave to simmer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes or until reduced.
- Pre-cook the lasagne sheets in salted boiling water for 5 minutes, or till flexible but not entirely cooked through. Drain.
- Preheat oven to 200 C / Gas 6.
- Place a ladleful of the sauce in the bottom of a greased baking dish. Top with a layer of lasagne sheets, then continue layering, ending with the lasagne sheets covered with grated cheese.
- Pop it into the oven for around 45 minutes until cheese is golden brown. Cool slightly before cutting and enjoy!
Tip
You can also add cheese sauce to each layer, I just use a Coleman's Cheddar sauce mix, takes 2 minutes to boil up with milk!

This is the 3rd or 4th time I have used this recipe now and we love it. Live with my fiance and grown up son and goes down a treat. No tweaks, also use the tip about the Colman's Cheddar Cheese Sauce. After first attempt I even bought a new for purpose dish to cook it in. - 30 Aug 2015
