Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Finely chop garlic. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • Cook beef mince, diced bacon and soffritto mix, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 5-6 minutes. Drain excess oil from the pan.
• Add garlic and tomato & herb seasoning to the pan, then cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Reduce heat to medium and stir in diced tomatoes with onion & garlic, the brown sugar and water, until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Season with pepper.
TIP: For best results, drain the oil from the pan before adding the spice blend!
• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the plain flour and cook, stirring, until a thick paste forms, 1-2 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium-low, then slowly whisk in light cooking cream and the milk until smooth. Simmer, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese.
• Spoon roughly one quarter of the beef filling into a baking dish, then top with a fresh lasagne sheet. Repeat with remaining filling and lasagne sheets. • Finish with a final lasagne sheet, then pour over the white sauce. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. • Bake until golden, 20-25 minutes.
• When lasagne has 10 minutes remaining, trim and roughly chop baby broccoli. • Wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook baby broccoli, tossing, until tender, 5-6 minutes. Season to taste.
• Divide oozy beef and bacon lasagne between plates. • Cut off one corner of the basil pesto packet and draw a fun face on the lasagne. Assemble baby broccoli as hair and flaked almonds as teeth for the monster. Enjoy!
