BEEF AND VEGETABLE LASAGNE



Beef and Vegetable Lasagne image

Combination of two recipes from "Cookery the Australian Way". Makes a big lasagne or 2 small ones. Recipe freezes well for --1 month when cooked; can be stored longer if final lasagne layer and cheese sauce are not added. This can be easily translated to a vegetarian lasagne by leaving out the meat sauce (will only need --150g lasagne and half of cheese sauce), or by substituting a bean or lentil based mix.

Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 23

2½ tbsp olive oil
1 large onion , finely chopped
250g chestnut mushrooms , finely chopped
250g lean beef mince
1 medium egg
30g parmesan , plus an extra 2 tbsp
1 garlic clove , crushed
25g fresh white breadcrumbs
300g fresh pasta sheets
200g mozzarella , grated
2 garlic cloves , crushed
2 courgettes , grated
2 carrots , grated
2 celery sticks, grated
1 tbsp chopped thyme
680g passata
300ml vegetable stock
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
50g butter
50g plain flour
600ml milk
2 bay leaves (optional)
½ cauliflower , cut into very small florets, stalk cut into small cubes

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the onion and mushrooms with a pinch of salt for 10 mins until soft. Put in a bowl and leave to cool. Add the mince, egg, parmesan, garlic and breadcrumbs, season and mix well with your hands. Roll into 25 small meatballs. Heat another 1 tbsp oil in the pan and fry the meatballs for 5 mins until browned (you'll need to do this in batches). Put on a plate and set aside.
  • To make the tomato sauce, heat the remaining oil in the pan and fry the garlic, courgettes, carrots and celery for 10-15 mins until softened, adding a splash of water if needed to prevent it sticking. Stir in the thyme, passata, stock and vinegar and simmer for 20 mins until thickened. Blitz with a hand blender if you prefer a smooth sauce. Season well.
  • To make the white sauce, heat the butter in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to make a paste. Slowly add the milk, stirring, then the bay leaves (if using) and cook for a few minutes until thick. Season, add the cauliflower and simmer for 1 min.
  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Stir the meatballs into the tomato sauce and spoon half into a lasagne dish. Top with half of the pasta sheets, then spoon over half of the white sauce and some mozzarella. Repeat with the remaining meatballs and sauces, then scatter over the rest of the mozzarella and the extra parmesan. Bake for 1 hr until golden.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your lasagna the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and won't hold their shape.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the noodles and vegetables without being too runny. If the sauce is too thin, it will make the lasagna watery.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is one of the most important ingredients in lasagna. Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as mozzarella, ricotta, or Parmesan.
  • Let the lasagna rest before serving: After you bake the lasagna, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and will make the lasagna easier to cut.

Conclusion:

Lasagna is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can make a lasagna that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give lasagna a try.
