Directions
Heat the mince on a medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. In a blender, add the onion, carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, garlic and beef stock and blend until smooth. Add to the cooked mince. Add the tomato paste, canned tomatoes and Italian Herbs. Continue to cook until tasty. Add salt and pepper if you wish.
Melt the butter in a pot and stir in the flour. Add 1 cup of milk and stir. Add the other cup of milk and continue to cook until the sauce is shining and no longer thickening. Add 1/2 cup of tasty cheese and stir until the cheese has melted into the sauce. Taste and add salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a lasagne dish. Layer the bottom of the dish with the lasagne sheets. Spoon some of the meat sauce onto and then some of the cheese sauce. Add another layer of pasta and again with the meat and cheese sauce. Add a top layer with a little more meat and cheese sauce and then top with the mozzarella and the extra tasty cheese.
Cook for 30-40 minutes until the pasta is cooked and the cheese on top has become crispy.
