Soldato
Hey guys
I made a Lasagne for me and my kids today for lunch.
This is the receipe and the instructions.
Minced Beef
1 Large Carrot
1/2 a Large onion
6 Button Mushrooms
Garlic - fresh
Olive Oil
Oregano
Nutmeg
Cheddar Cheese
Parmasian Cheese
Butter
Flour
Milk
Worcester Sauce
Side Salad
Garlic Dough Balls
Pasta Sheets
This is what I did
1. Grate up 1 large carrot
2. Grate up one half of a large onion
3. Grate up 6 button mushrooms
4. Grate up 3 cloves of garlic
5. Add all the above to a bowl and mix, adding a pinch of Oregano and salt and black pepper.
6. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan and add the bowl of mixed ingredients
7. Cook on a medium heat until the onion starts to brown (stirring), then add 2 tablespoons of wine cook until the alcohol is burnt off, and add a few drops of worcester sauce.
8. Add the minced beef once the beef is brown (still stirring) lower to a simmer and add 1 heaped table spoon of tomatoe puree, cook for another 30 seconds and then add the tin of chopped tomatoes (although upon opening the tin, I realised they were not chopped, so I have to chop them quickly when in the frying pan - LOL)
9. Leave cooking on low heat and stir occasionally.
10. To make the sauce I added 3 heaped tablespoons of butter to a sauce pan - once melted I added one heaped spoon of flour and 100ml of milk, mixing up until it made a paste. Add two pinches of nutmeg to the cheese sauce base
11. Continue to cook for a few minutes adding 100ml more milk twice over a 2-3 minute period.
12. Add the grated cheddar cheese (was lazy and bought pre-grated from Supermarket) and continue to mix.
13. Get an oven dish and add half of the now cooked mince meat to the dish and then make a single layer of pasta sheets, taking care not to overlap the sheets - or they dont cook too well
14. Then pour over a layer of the cheese sauce (using half of the cheese sauce)
15. Then pour over the rest of the beef and tom sauce. Then complete with a last layer using the rest of the cheese sauce.
16. Sprinkle over a thin dusting of parmasian cheese and nutmeg.
17. Put in the oven which should have been pre-heated prior to starting
I served it with a side salad and some garlic balls which I bought from the Supermarket - which also went in the oven.
Sadly I forgot to take pics - however next time I made it I will take snaps
Try it, its a great nice meal which is fairly quick and in-expensive to buy.
