For the meat sauce:

• Extra virgin olive oil

• 1 pound lean ground beef mince

• 1/2 onion, Chopped

• 1/2 large pepper (green, red, or yellow), chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, chopped

• 1 can good quality tomato sauce

• 3 tbls tomato puree

• 1 can chopped tomatoes

• 3 tbls Spicy Joes Sun Dried Tomato & Basil Blend

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (preferably flat leaf), packed

• Pinch  of Spicy Joes garlic salt

• 1 tablespoon red or white wine vinegar

To assemble the lasagna:

• 9 Sheets Lasagne Pasta Sheets

• 15 ounces Ricotta cheese

• 1 1/2 lb (24 ounces) Mozzarella cheese, grated or sliced

• 1/4 lb (4 ounces) freshly grated Parmesan cheese

• Start by making the sauce

• Brown the mince in a pan over medium heat then add the pepper, onion, and a combo of tomato sauce, tomato paste, and chopped tomatoes. The three kinds of tomatoes gives the sauce great depth of flavour. 

• Let this simmer while you boil the pasta sheets and get the cheeses ready. We’re using ricotta, shredded mozzarella, and parmesan — like the mix of tomatoes, this 3-cheese blend gives the lasagne great flavour!

• From there, it’s just an assembly job. A cup of meat sauce, a layer of noodles, more sauce, followed by a layer of cheese. Repeat until you have three layers and have used up all the ingredients.

• Finish with a good layer of cheese 

• Bake until bubbly and you’re ready to eat!
