TIP! Lasagne can be prepared, without the cheese sauce, up to one day ahead. Keep, covered, in the fridge. Allow an extra 10 to 15 minutes cooking time when cooking to serve.

Ingredients

750g lean beef mince

750g jar bolognese with chunky tomato garlic & herb pasta sauce

410g can rich and thick tomatoes with onion & garlic

200g bag shredded carrot

1 large beef stock cube, crumbled

2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs

250g packet instant lasagne sheets

500g bottle four cheese lasagne bake sauce

1 cup grated pizza cheese

Salad leaves, to serve

Method

  1. Heat a lightly oiled, large, deep frying pan over a high heat. Add beef. Cook, stirring to break up mince for about 10 minutes, or until browned. 

  2. Stir in bolognese sauce, tomatoes, carrot, stock cube, herbs and ¾ cup water. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to boil. Gently boil, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until thick. 

  3. Spread ½ cup of the beef mixture over base of a greased 23cm x 32cm x 6cm deep, rectangular ovenproof dish (14-cup capacity). Arrange a layer of lasagne sheets over the top, trimming to fit. Spread with half the remaining beef mixture. Repeat layering with remaining lasagne sheets and beef mixture, finishing with a layer of lasagne sheets. 

  4. Pour cheese sauce evenly over lasagne. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover tightly with a sheet of greased foil.

  5. Cook in a moderate oven (180C) for 45 minutes. Remove foil. Cook for a further 15 to 20 minutes, or until top is golden and lasagne is tender. 

  6. Serve with a salad leaves.
