Instructions to make Lasagne:

1. Heat pan with olive oil and add finely diced carrot, celery and onions. Sweat on a low heat until soft & translucent season with salt and pepper. Turn up the heat and add the mince & break up the meat so you have no clumps of meat - use a wooden spoon or whisk. Cook until meat is brown.
2. Once the meat is browned add the red wine and wait until reduced slightly. After a few mins add the milk and cook for 2 minutes (this tenderises the meat and makes the ragu more creamy).
3. Finally add the tinned tomato (fill up both empty tins with water and add also), tomato paste, stock pot, sugar, oregano, basil and also a pinch of chilli (optional). Simmer on a low heat for 1 hour & half. This can be done much quicker but it’s worth waiting for!
4. For the white sauce add the butter to a pan on low heat to melt. Gradually whisk in the flour to form a smooth roux. First add in a small amount of milk whilst whisking, then add the rest of the milk. Add the bay leaf, nutmeg & pepper (no salt needed as Parmesan is salty). Whisk for around 5-10 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken. Then add the Parmesan cheese.
5. Preheat an oven to 200 degrees. In a large lasagne dish, first add a few spoons of the red sauce so it covers the full dish. Pour some of the white sauce across the top. Sprinkle on some of the cheese & the cover with a lasagne sheet. Then repeat. For the top layer make sure it is the white sauce only then the grated cheese. Place into the hot oven for 45 minutes
6. To serve let rest for up to an hour. Cut up into slices to serve. This is great the next day also for any left over.
