Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 2 brown onions (diced)
  • 2 garlic cloves (crushed)
  • 1 kg beef mince
  • 280 g tomato paste
  • 1 bottle passata
  • 400 g canned diced tomato
  • 2 tbs Italian dried herbs
  • 700 ml water
  • 1 tub low-fat cottage cheese
  • 250 g parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 100 g mozzarella
  • 1 packet instant lasagne sheets (large)

Instruction

  • In a frying pan, heat the oil and add the onions and garlic. Fry until the onions are translucent and then add the mince. Brown the mince and add the tomato paste, cooking for 2 minutes. Add the passata, tomatoes, herbs and water, and stir to mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the three cheeses together.
  • Spoon a few tablespoons of the meat sauce over the base of your slow cooker. Layer lasagne sheets over the sauce and then crumble one quarter of the cheese mix over the sheets. Repeat layering – sauce, lasagne sheets, cheese – and end with a layer of meat sauce.
  • Cook in the slow cooker on low for 4-6 hours. Twenty minutes before cooking is complete, sprinkle over additional mozzarella cheese and replace lid. Serve with salad and garlic bread.
