  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 350 ml beef bone broth
  • 1200g canned diced tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste

Cheese Filling
  • 675 g cottage cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 150 g mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 25 g parmesan cheese, grated

Pasta & Topping
  • 340 g lasagne sheets
  • 150 g mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 30 g parmesan cheese, grated
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 190°C (fan forced) and select a large roasting dish.
  2. Prepare the meat sauce:
  • Heat olive oil in a large pan.
  • Add onions and carrots, and cook until softened.
  • Stir in red capsicum, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Season to taste (I used 1 tbsp Italian seasoning & 1/2 tbsp garlic powder).
  • Add bone broth and simmer for 5–10 minutes until reduced.
  • Add the beef mince, cooking until browned.
  • Stir in the canned tomatoes and simmer for another 10 minutes.
      3.   Make the cheese filling:
             In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, egg, mozzarella, parmesan, and parsley. Mix well.
​      4.   Assemble the lasagne:
  • Spread a thin layer of meat sauce over the base of your dish.
  • Add a layer of pasta sheets, then cheese mixture, then more meat sauce.
  • Repeat layers: meat → pasta → cheese → meat → pasta → cheese → meat → pasta → meat → cheese.
​     5.    Bake:
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  • Remove the foil, sprinkle the top with remaining mozzarella and parmesan, and bake for another 10–15 minutes, until golden and bubbling.
     6.   Cool & store:
  • Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Portion into containers for easy meal prep — keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
