Ingredients:
Bolognaise sauce:
- Glug oil
- 2 onions, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 500g lean beef mince
- 1 packet (50g) tomato paste
- 2 cups (500ml) basil and tomato pasta sauce (or passata sauce works well too)
- 1 can (400g) chopped tomatoes
- 2 Tbsp (30ml) Worcestershire sauce
- 1-2 tsp (5-10ml) sugar
- Salt and milled pepper
- Handful basil and thyme
Cheese sauce:
- ¼ cup (60ml) butter
- ¼ cup (60ml) flour
- 2 cups (500ml) milk
- Salt and milled pepper
- 2 cups (200g) grated cheddar and mozzarella cheese (combined)
- 1 box (500g) lasagne sheets
- 1 cup (125g) grated mature cheddar cheese
Method:
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Fry onion until golden, then add garlic and fry for a minute.
- Add mince and brown well.
- Add tomato paste and cook until sticky.
- Stir in remaining bolognaise ingredients and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Turn off heat and add fresh herbs.
- For cheese sauce, heat butter in a pot until melted, add flour and stir to combine for about 1 minute.
- Gradually add milk while whisking. Season and cook for 3 minutes.
- Add grated cheese and stir until melted.
- Blanch lasagne sheets in batches in a pan of boiling water, keeping them separated in a single layer, until soft and pliable, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove lasagne, drizzle with oil to coat and roll up sheets.
- Place pasta roll-ups and a 23cm skillet or oven dish. (You can add a splash of bolognaise sauce at the bottom of the baking dish, to help secure pasta.)
- Spoon sauce into pasta pockets, drizzle with sauce and sprinkle with grated cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden on top.
- Serve with fresh basil, hot out of the oven.
