Cooking Steps

Get Prepped
1
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Trim and grate the carrot and aubergine.
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat (no oil).
  • Once the pan is hot, fry the mince, aubergine, carrot and half the sachet of Italian herbs (use all for 4P and 6P) until browned, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper.
Simmer the Sauce
2
  • Meanwhile, mix the creme fraiche, half the stock, cheese and 100ml water (per 2P) in a bowl. 
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and remaining stock to the mince.
  • Cover and cook for 6-8 mins. Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
Bake Until Bubbling
3
  • Pour a thin layer of mince into an oven dish and cover with lasagne sheets.
  • Pour more mince and then a layer of creme fraiche and cheese mix.
  • Repeat until all the ingredients are used up and finish with a layer of the cheese and creme fraiche mix. 
  • Cover the dish aluminium foil, then bake for 30-35 mins, or until the tip of a knife goes easily into the pasta.
  • Remove the foil for the final 10 mins.
Garnish and Serve
4
  • Divide the lasagne between plates.
  • Spoon the pesto over the top. 

TIP: Let the lasagna cool a little so that it holds together better when cut.
