- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 500 g lean beef mince
- 750 g organic bolognese/pasta sauce
- 1.5-2 cup chicken stock
- 1 cup ricotta
- 100 g cottage cheese

- pepper (optional)
- mingle seasoning italian herbs (optional)
- 170-250 g lasagna sheets
- 1 cup mozzarella, grated
- fresh basil (optional)
- parmesan (optional)

## Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-based pan over medium heat.
2. Add the onion and any optional vegetables. Cook for 2–3 minutes, then add the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until softened.
3. Increase the heat to high. Add the beef mince and cook for around 5 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks, until browned.
4. Add the bolognese sauce, chicken stock, ricotta, cottage cheese and Mingle Italian Herbs. Season with a little more salt and pepper, then mix well and cook for 5 minutes.
5. Tear or snap the lasagna sheets into smaller pieces and add them to the pan. Use tongs to gently submerge and spread them evenly through the sauce.
6. Place the lid on and cook over the lowest heat according to the lasagna sheet packet instructions, checking the bottom occasionally.
7. Use a fork to check that the pasta is cooked. It should pierce the lasagna sheets easily.
8. Top with the mozzarella. Place the lid back on until the cheese has melted or place it under the grill for around 5 minutes until golden and bubbling.
9. Finish with fresh basil and Parmesan.
