Method
Place mince in a bowl and mix in a little oil.
Heat a large frypan to hot.
Brown the mince in 2 batches, breaking up any lumps with a fork. Set aside.
Add onion and garlic to the frypan, cook until onion is soft.
Return mince and add the tomato paste, tomatoes, stock, sugar and mixed herbs.
Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
To make the white sauce, melt the butter or margarine in a saucepan, add the flour and stir until bubbly.
Add one third of the milk and stir continually until the sauce boils and thickens.
Repeat this twice until all the milk is added.
Keep stirring until the sauce boils. Season to taste.
Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
Alternate layers of meat sauce with the lasagne sheets and half the white sauce in a greased lasagne dish, finishing with a layer of white sauce.
Sprinkle with the grated cheese. Bake lasagne uncovered for about 30 minutes or until thoroughly hot.
Serve with salad or seasonal vegetables.
