Homemade Lasagne

Method : 

For the Bolognese : 

• Dice up your onion and add the lazy garlic to it, mix together . 
• Melt the butter in a pan then fry off the onions & Garlic until soft, about 10 minutes.
• Add the sugar to the onions and allow to cook for a further 5 minutes
• When the onions are soft , add the minced beef and fry until it is cooked. You can chop this up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
• Empty the chopped tomatoes and Red wine into a food processor and process for a few seconds so that the tomatoes are well mixed with the wine.
• Add the crumbled up stock cubes into the sauce and process again. 
• Whent the beef is cooked add the flour and mix in to form a loose roux.
• Then add the flour.
• Add the chopped tomato sauce and mix up with a wooden spoon.
• Add the tomato paste and mix up.
• leave this to cook for around 15 minutes on a low heat.
• Cover and set aside.

For the Sauce : 

• Melt the butter in a saucepan. 
• Add the flour to the melted butter, and mix.
• Then add the warm milk. The more milk you add the thinner your sauce will be,keep cooking and whisk continually.
• Mix in the cheese until melted.
• Cover and set the sauce aside.

Putting the Lasagne together : 

• In a greased oven dish , place the first sheet of pasta to fit. 
• Add a good quantity of bolognese , then add the second pasta sheet on top . cut to fit.
• It is a nice idea to add a layer of cheese slices on top of the first layer of bolognese.
• Add another layer of bolognese , and finally cover with the last pasta sheet, being careful not to leave any corners sticking up.
• Cover with a generous amount (if not all) of the cheese sauce.
• Cover with foil before cooking
• Back in a preheated oven @ 180 c for approx. 35 minutes.
• Remove the foil and continue cooking for another 10 minutes.
