For the béchamel sauce:

Instructions

This Bozu Beef Lasagne is easier to cook than it looks. Just follow these simple steps.

Get Your Mince On

• Grab a large pan and heat the vegetable oil over a medium heat.
• Chuck in the chopped onion, carrot and celery, and let them soften for about 5 minutes.
• Now, add the beef mince and break it up with your spoon. Let it cook until it’s browned all over.
• This will take about 10 minutes, so put on your favourite tunes and have a little kitchen boogie.
• Stir in the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, oregano, thyme, bay leaf and red wine vinegar.
• Pour in the beef bouillon, give it a good stir, and bring it to a gentle simmer.
• Then, put a lid on it and let it do its thing for about an hour. Don’t forget to give it a stir every now and then.

While your meat sauce is bubbling away, let’s make the béchamel.

• In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over a low heat.
• Whisk in the plain flour and cook for a minute or two, stirring constantly.
• Gradually whisk in the milk, a little at a time, until you’ve a smooth sauce.
• Cook the sauce over a low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens up a bit. Don’t let it boil!
• Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg.

Build Your Lasagne Tower

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan)/gas mark 4.
• Now, grab an ovenproof dish and spread a layer of meat sauce on the bottom.
• Top with a layer of lasagne sheets, then another layer of meat sauce and a drizzle of béchamel.
• Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of béchamel and a good sprinkle of cheddar and parmesan cheese.
• Don’t be shy with the cheese — it’s the glue that holds everything together (and makes it extra tasty).

Bake & Enjoy

• Pop your lasagne in the oven for about 30–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
• Let it rest for a few minutes before diving in. This gives the flavours a chance to mingle and the lasagne a chance to firm up a bit.
• Serve with a fresh side salad and a sprinkle of herbs for extra pizzazz.
