Description
Easy Creamy Bolognese Lasagne leans on simple ingredients but still delivers a full, rich flavour. It’s not fussy, just dependable comfort food.
Ingredients
Bolognese Sauce
- 1.1 lb – 500 g mince (beef)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 jar Ina Paarman Tomato and Basil Sauce (approx. 400 to 500 ml)
- 1 can whole peeled tomatoes (400 g), mashed
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
Lasagne Assembly
- 9 to 12 lasagne sheets (enough for layers)
- 1 bottle Ina Paarman Creamy Pasta Sauce (approx. 400 to 500 ml)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (for topping)
Side
- 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
Instructions
Bolognese Sauce
- In a large pan over medium heat, cook the 500 g mince with the 2 cloves of garlic until it’s just about done. Break it up well with a fork as it cooks, so you don’t end up with big chunks.
- If you prefer, you can rinse the mince under hot water to separate it more, but just know you’ll lose some flavour, so it’s optional and totally up to you.
- Add the 1 jar Ina Paarman Tomato and Basil Sauce and the mashed 400 g whole peeled tomatoes.
- Stir in the 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, and 1/2 tsp white pepper.
- Let it simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Lasagne
- Preheat your oven to 350⁰F (180⁰C).
- In a baking dish (9×13 inch works best), spread a thin layer of the bolognese sauce on the bottom so nothing sticks.
- Layer as follows: Lasagne sheets; Some of the Bolognese sauce; A layer of Ina Paarman Creamy Pasta Sauce
- Repeat the layers until everything is used, finishing with a layer of lasagne sheets on top.
Creamy Topping
- In a bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1 cup milk.
- Pour this evenly over the top layer of lasagne sheets so it soaks in.
- Sprinkle over the 1 1/2 to 2 cups of grated mozzarella cheese and finish with 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper for a little kick.
- Bake uncovered at 350⁰F (180⁰C) for 30 minutes, or until bubbling and lightly golden on top.
- If it browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil for the last 10 minutes.
- Let it rest for about 5 to 10 minutes before slicing; it’ll fall apart a bit. Still tastes great though.
Side
- Steam the cauliflower florets until just tender and serve on the side to balance the richness of the lasagne.
