I cook up some onions till glassy then add mince and brown off, throw in lots of garlic, tinned tomatoes, and a fair bit of tom paste, and a very generous slug of red wine, then add heaps of fresh herbs (can use dried if you don't have fresh, I use rosemary, basil, oregano and marjoram) and simmer till it reduces right down, I then add grated carrots and mushrooms, and simmer till they are cooked and it is all well reduced. Meanwhile I make a heap of cheese sauce (melt butter, add flour make paste then add milk slowly while stirring to make white sauce and add grated cheese, check it tastes cheesy enough) and boil up the lasagne. Once everything is ready I layer it up meat, pasta, cheese sauce, meat, pasta, cheese sauce, meat, cheese sauce. If time permits allow it to all cool before chucking it in the oven at about 160 till the top is golden brown.

Italian Lasagna Recipe

Ingredients

8 oz. Italian Prosciutto, chopped

8 oz. Lasagna pasta noodles, cooked

16 oz. can whole peeled tomatoes, chopped

1 cup Ricotta cheese

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 lb. Mozzarella cheese, sliced thin

1 medium onion, chopped

1 lb. lean ground beef

4 tbs. fresh basil, chopped

4 cloves garlic, chopped or minced

1/4 tsp. oregano

ground black pepper

1/2 cup dry white wine

2 tbs. olive oil

fresh basil sprigs for garnish.

1) Cook pasta according to package directions or until tender but still firm. Drain, keep warm.

2) To make the sauce, in a large saucepan or cast iron skillet, over medium high high heat, saute the garlic, onion and prosciutto in the olive oil for 4 minutes. Add the lean beef, oregano, a touch of black pepper and saute 10 minutes. Add the wine and cook until the wine is almost evaporated. Add tomatoes and basil, reduce heat and simmer sauce 35 to 40 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.

3) Grease a 9" x 12" or larger, baking pan. Arrange a first layer of pasta, a layer of the beef and prosciutto tomato sauce, Ricotta cheese, parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Add a second alternating layer of pasta, sauce and other ingredients. Repeat until pan is full ending up with a top layer of sauce. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil.

I'm really open to all types of food but Blurgh! I hate that Lazy Lasagne recipe - something about the topping part just turns my stomach.

Savoury mince stew is tasty w/ garlic mashed spuds.Recycled leftover mince stew into chilli beef as well.http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/ground-beef-stew-over-garlic-mashed-potatoes/38efb5ef-54c9-41a8-a351-dbf788e9691d

The tomato soup component has that effect on me.
