Lasagna Al a Mel in a hurry
from 500gms to 1 kilo of mince meat (beef)
1x 800gm tin of crushed tomatoes
1x tin of tomato soup or 1 cup tomato paste
1x lg onion chopped
2x cloves garlic minced
a good couple of gluggs of soya sauce
2 tbs beef stock powder ( i often use chicken too, cluck moo whatever)
a dash of sugar if using tomato paste
1 quantity of white sauce equaling about 1 litre
in the white sauce i put 1 tbs of whole grain mustard
1tsp onion powder and 1 tsp of garlic powder
and about 1 cup of grated cheese
grated cheese (i grate form the block so to your taste really
1 quantity of home made pasta
2 cups plain flour
2 tbs oil
salt
1 egg
water
Simply mix together gently with a knife adding water to get the right consistency (not too sticky), cut into portions ( i make 3 as i like 3 layers) roll out on floured surface, i fold into quarters until im ready for them its normally not long.
Brown the onion with a few Rachael Ray around the pan tbs, add the mince and brown. Mix in the crushed tomatoes and tom soup. Then add the garlic, soya sauce, stock and season to taste. At this point i add water if i used more to the 1 kilo of mince about 1/2 cup. let simmer while making your white sauce and pasta. Simmer longer if you like a firm lasagna as this will reduce the liquid in meat sauce.
Layer a small amount of the meat sauce on bottom of pan. Use whatever baking dish you can always freeze what doesn't fit. Then lay down one of your sheets of pasta, a layer of meat then some of the white sauce. Then repeat ending with meat sauce and layer with the white sauce. grate some cheese over the top and bake till nice and brown in a 180`C oven. I know it sounds like a lot of work but it really isn't. Enjoy!!
