Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. • Meanwhile, grate carrot. Roughly chop tomato.
• Add carrot and tomato to the frying pan and cook until tender, 2-3 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium-low, then add garlic & herb seasoning and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add beef-style stock powder, the water, butter and the brown sugar. Stir to combine and cook until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Remove from heat, then add baby spinach leaves and stir until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
Little cooks: Kids can help out with measuring the water.
• Slice fresh lasagne sheet in half widthways. • Spoon 1/2 the beef filling into a baking dish, then top with a layer of lasagne sheets (lay two sheets alongside each other for 4 people). • Repeat with remaining beef filling and lasagne sheets. Evenly spread bechamel sauce over the top and sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese. • Bake until golden, 20-25 minutes.
Little cooks: Take the lead and help assemble the lasagne!
• Divide beef lasagne and bechamel sauce with Parmesan cheese between plates. Enjoy!
