Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Grate carrot. Finely chop onion (see ingredients) and tomato. • Roughly chop baby kale.
Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the carrot.
• 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, 3-4 minutes. • Add carrot, tomato and onion and cook until tender, 6-7 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, then add garlic & herb seasoning, Aussie spice blend and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the water and butter (for the filling). Stir to combine and cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Stir through baby kale, season to taste with salt and pepper.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter(for the sauce), over medium heat, until melted. • Add the plain flour and cook, stirring, until a thin paste forms, 1 minute. • Remove pan from heat, then slowly whisk in the milk and bechamel sauce until smooth. • Stir through grated Parmesan cheese, then season with salt and pepper.
• Slice fresh lasagne sheet in half widthways. • Spoon half the beef filling into a baking dish, then top with a layer of lasagne sheets (lay two sheets alongside each other for 4 people). Top with a layer of cheesy white sauce. • Repeat with remaining beef filling, lasagne sheets and white sauce. • Bake lasagne until golden, 20-25 minutes.
Little cooks: Take the lead and help assemble the lasagne!
• Divide homey beef and veggie lasagne between plates. Enjoy!
