Steps
Lasagne pasta bake
- Preheat the oven to 185°C. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and saute the onion, garlic and beef mince for 5 minutes until browned and fragrant.
- Add the pasta sauce, stock pot and water, then simmer for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water for 10-12 minutes until al dente (slightly firm to the bite). Drain.
- In a small saucepan, whisk the milk, cheese sauce mix, sour cream and mustard over heat until simmering and thickened, then stir in the grated cheese. Taste and season as required.
- Toss pasta with mince sauce, then spoon into a large freezer-proof baking dish or 3 foil containers. Smooth top and pour over cheese sauce, then sprinkle with extra cheese if desired. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and bubbling.
