Ingredients

No Fuss Lasagna

• 1kg lean beef mince
• 800g tin of diced tomatoes
• 1 large brown onion - diced
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic - or one clove finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Italian herb mix
• 1 tablespoon beef stock powder
• 300ml thickened cream
• 2 cups grated cheddar
• 1 packet fresh, not dried, lasagna sheets - Latina is best

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 160C
2. In a large saucepan, put the mince, onion, garlic and a dash of water. Heat and keep stirring until the mince is browned evenly.
3. Add in the tomatoes, herbs and stock powder, and stir for another 5 minutes.
4. In a large baking tray, ladle enough sauce mixture to just cover the bottom. This makes sure the first layer of pasta sheets cooks through properly.
5. Cut and shut your sheets of pasta to fit one layer. Ladle some more mixture over the top and sprinkle a small amount of cheese over. Continue these layers until you've used the mince and have one layer of pasta left.
6. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the cream and tofu together until smooth and creamy.
7. Place this on top, and pour over the cream.
8. Spread the rest of the grated cheese over the top, and pop into the oven to bake for 45 minutes.
9. Rest for 10 minutes before cutting. This dish freezes so well!! and is easy to reheat in the microwave for a quick dinner when you are busy or tired.
