Why is this
healthier than a normal lasagne you ask?
- Use lean steak
mince
- Use all fresh
ingredients- put away the pre made dolmio sauce and use fresh chopped tomato
and ½ fat crème fraiche
- Use half fat
cheese- Sprinkle a small amount on the top of your pasta for a crispy topping.
Ingredients:
- Lasagne sheets
- 500g lean steak Mince
- 300g ½ fat Crème Fraiche
- Lighter cheese-approximately a
small handful
- 600g chopped tomato
- ½ an onion
- 2 mushrooms
- A handful or spinach
- 2 cloves of crushed Garlic
- ½ tbsp Worchester sauce
- Sprinkle of chilli flakes for a
kick
- 1 tsp tomato puree
- Italian herbs (basil, thyme,
parsley)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Method:
Preheat oven to 200°C
In a saucepan pour in 1 tbsp of olive oil and add garlic, tomato
puree and onion and cook until soft then add mince to brown. Once brown, drain
excess grease. Add in mushroom (and if you feel adventurous you can add chorizo
or pancetta here if you prefer a meatier lasagne)
Add tomatoes, Worchester sauce, salt, pepper, chilli flakes and
herbs. Taste and add more seasoning if
needed. Add spinach and allow to simmer for approximately 5 minutes.
Add crème fraiche and tbsp of water to a small saucepan. Stir
continuously. Add cheese a small amount at a time and mix in. Add more water if
sauce becomes too thick. How much cheese you add is your preference the smaller
amount you add the healthier it will be.
