MINCE MAYHEM
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a nonstick pan over a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Allow to caramelise for 3-4 minutes until browned, shifting occasionally. Add the grated garlic and the rub and fry for 1 minute until fragrant, shifting constantly. Pour in the passata and cook for 2-5 minutes or until slightly reduced and thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion. Season to taste.
QUICK BÉCHAMEL
Return the pan, wiped down if necessary, to a medium heat with 40g of butter. Once melted, vigorously whisk in the flour to form the roux. Cook out for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in the milk until the sauce thickens slightly. If the béchamel is too thick for your liking, add an extra splash of water. Remove from the heat on completion and season to taste.
ALL TOGETHER
Place a ⅓ of the saucy mince in the bottom of a small ovenproof dish. Top with ⅓ of the lasagne sheets and ⅓ of the béchamel sauce. Repeat with the remaining mince, lasagne sheets and béchamel to create two more layers. Sprinkle over the grated cheese and bake in the hot oven for 10-12 minutes until the lasagne is bubbling and the cheese is starting to brown.
SALAD GREENS
In a bowl, toss the rinsed salad leaves with the red wine vinegar, a drizzle of oil, and some seasoning.
A FEAST!
Serve up a generous helping of the lavish lasagne. Sprinkle over the torn basil. Serve the dressed green leaves on the side – the way the Italians do!
