Ingredients list

• Olive oil
• 1 red onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 500g beef mince
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1 zucchini, chopped
• 1 carrot, grated
• Fresh parsley stems, chopped

• Instant lasagne sheets, broken into pieces
• Parmesan cheese, to taste
• 1 cup mozzarella, chopped
• Fresh parsley and olive oil, to serve

Method

• In a large frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add red onion and garlic, and sauté until softened. Add the beef mince and cook until browned.

• Stir in the mushrooms, chopped zucchini, grated carrot, parsley stems, and sage. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes until vegetables start to soften.

• Add tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the diced tomatoes and water, stirring well to combine.

• Simmer: Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally and top up with a little extra water if needed to prevent sticking.

• Break the lasagne sheets into smaller pieces and stir them into the sauce. Sprinkle over parmesan and chopped mozzarella. Cover again and simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and cheese is melted.

• Serve: Finish with fresh parsley and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve hot and enjoy!
