Ingredients
Basic tomato sauce
Basic white cheese sauce
Method
1.To make the tomato sauce, heat the oil in a medium saucepan and saute onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes over low heat until softened and fragrant. Add wine and reduce by half, then add tomatoes, sugar and seasoning. Simmer the sauce, covered, for 10 minutes.
2.To make the white cheese sauce, Heat the butter in a medium saucepan until melted and bubbling. Add flour and cook for 2-3 minutes until mixture is a sandy texture and golden. Gradually stir in a little hot milk at a time until you have a smooth creamy sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes, then stir in cheese and season to taste.
3.Next, heat oil in a large frying pan and brown mince. Add tomato sauce and simmer for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Mix cheese sauce with mustard.
4.Heat a shallow pan with water and dip 2-3 sheets of lasagne in for 1-2 minutes to soften. Lay in base of a lasagne dish and top with half mince mixture. Cover with another few pre-softened sheets, then spread over half the cheese sauce. Continue with another layer of pasta, the remaining mince and pasta, finishing with cheese sauce.
5.Sprinkle over grated cheese and bake for 30-40 minutes until golden. Top with parsley.
