Creamy Beef Lasagna(6 of 6)

Ingredients

• Olive oil, 2 tsp
• 1 medium-sized brown onion, thinly chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
• Lean beef (mince), 1 lb
• Tomato pasta sauce, 1 bottle
• Red wine, ½ cup
• Caster sugar, 1 tsp
• Dried lasagna (pasta sheets), 1 pkg.
• Thickened cream, 2 cups
• Cheddar cheese (grated), 2 cups
• Parmesan cheese (grated), ¼ cup

Preparation

1. Place a heavy saucepan over med-high heat. Add oil.
2. When the oil is hot, add garlic and onion and sauté for 3 minutes until onion is tender.
3. Add mince and stir well. Cook while stirring with a wooden spoon and break up mince until browned. Cook for 8 minutes.
4. Add sauce, sugar and wine. Season with salt and pepper and stir to mix well.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil and adjust heat to low. Simmer (without covering with the lid) for 40 minutes. This will thicken the sauce. Remove from heat.
6. Set the oven to preheat setting at 180 degrees C. Grease a baking dish. Spoon ½ cup mince mixture on the base of the dish. Arrange one quarter of pasta sheet over the mixture. Add the mince mixture along with ¼ cream. Cover with cheddar cheese.
7. Repeat the same layer twice and top with pasta sheet, cream and cheddar cheese in the end. Lastly, cover with parmesan and cover with foil.
8. Set to bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake for 15 minutes until the pasta sheets are tender. When the cheese is golden, remove and serve immediately.
