Lasagne is one of our all-time Italian favourites. Try this delicious version with its clever low fat cheese sauce.

Ingredients

1 spray(s) Cooking Spray, Calorie Controlled
450 g Beef, Mince, Extra Lean, Cooked
1 medium Onion, All Types, chopped
175 g Mushrooms, sliced
1 medium Carrots, Old, Raw, chopped
800 g Tomatoes, Whole or Chopped, Canned, with garlic
1 cube(s) Stock Cube, Vegetable, beef dissolved in 100ml boiling water
2 teaspoons (as purchased) Mixed Herbs, Dried
1 pinch Salt
1 teaspoons (ground) Pepper, Black (Whole, Cracked or Ground)
110 g Lasagne Sheet, dried, no pre-cook
150 g Cheese, Quark
150 g Cheese, Soft, Medium Fat, with garlic and herbs
1 medium Egg, Whole, beaten
150 ml Milk, Skimmed

Instructions
Spray a large saucepan with low fat cooking spray. Place over a high heat and add the mince a handful at a time, so that it browns.
Add the onion, mushrooms, carrot, tomatoes, stock and herbs. Bring up to the boil, then reduce the heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Season to taste.
Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 5 / 190°C / 375°F.
Tip half the cooked meat into an oblong baking dish. Lay half the lasagne sheets on top.
Beat together the Quark, low fat soft cheese and egg. Stir in the milk. Spread about one third of this mixture over the lasagne. Layer the rest of the meat and lasagne sheets on top, and spread over the remaining the cheese mixture. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes, until golden.
Cook’s tip: Use Quorn mince and a vegetable stock cube for a vegetarian version.
 
Will try this at the weekend - can't beat lasagne and a glass of wine on Saturday night!
