Italian Night (Probably my favourite dish)
7 Layer Lasagna, Served with Pesto & Mozzarella Sourdough Flatbread.
Salt & Pepper Fries, and Deliciously Crunchy Rainbow Salad.
This was absolutely delicious 😋 It's definitely one of my favourite dishes.
I think the secret to a great Lasagna is to cook your pasta sheets first or buy fresh one's
It makes all the difference in my opinion.
Total cost £10.97 that's an amazing £2.74 per portion, and I made 4 Portions,
Considering the average cost of this for 4 Portions in a Restaurant would be £63.90 I think making it at home is great option if you are on a budget.
Ingredients
750g Minced Beef
300g Lasagna Sheets
500ml Béchamel Sauce
1 litre Garlic & Herb Passata or Bolognese Sauce.
400g Chopped Italian Tomatoes (optional)
150g Rainbow Salad
10 inch Sourdough
50g Mozzarella
Cherry tomatoes a handful
2 x tblsp Green Pesto
150g Cheddar
Tomato Puree
1 x Onion,
1 x tblsp Sugar
Salt to taste
1 x tblsp Basil
2 x tblsp Garlic Purée
1 x tblsp Dried Basil
1 x tspn Dried Oregano
Ground Black Pepper to taste
1 x tspn Dried Rosemary
Directions
Fry your mince until it crumbles in a little olive oil and a tblsp of Garlic purée. One cooked add your herbs stir to combine.
Now add your Tomato sauce and simmer for 20mins,
Add pasta sheets to salted boiling water one at a time to prevent them from sticking together.
Now simply Layer your Lasagna into as many layers as your heart desires.
I aim for a layer of Béchamel Sauce in the middle then a thick one on top.
Cover with Béchamel Sauce and top with Cheddar and a Sprinkle of Parsley.
Place in a preheated oven at 200ºC for around 40mins until it's golden brown and Bubbling.
Leave to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy
Happy Cooking folks 😋
