Ingredients:

8 servings:

• 2 teaspoons of olive oil;

• 1 large onion, chopped;

• 2 finely chopped carrots;

• 2 finely chopped stalks of celery;

• 2 finely chopped zucchini;

• 2 finely chopped garlic cloves;

• 500 g beef fillet;

• 400 g canned tomatoes, chopped;

• 125 ml beef broth;

• 2 tablespoons of tomato paste;

• 2 teaspoons of dry oregano;

• 375g lasagna sheets.

Cheese sauce:

• 750 ml skimmed or reduced fat milk;

• 40 g cornstarch;

• 100g reduced fat cheddar cheese;

Cooking method:

Heat oil over medium heat in a large non-stick skillet. Add the onion to the pan and cook for about five minutes. Next, add carrots, celery, zucchini, stir constantly and cook for about another five minutes until the vegetables are soft. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Increase the heat to high, add the meat and cook until the meat turns brown, stirring constantly. Do not allow lumps to form, break them up with a wooden spatula. In the next batch, add the tomatoes, broth, tomato paste, and oregano to the pan and mix well. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce the heat to low, then continue to cook for about 20 more minutes. Cover the pan with a lid, but not tightly, and stir occasionally to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom and sides of the pan. Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Take a dish suitable for oven use and put some meat sauce in it, evenly covering the entire bottom. Lay one layer of lasagna sheets on top, then lay out half of the meat sauce and repeat once again. On top of the "pie" should be a sheet of dough. To make the cheese sauce, in a small skillet, mix a small amount of milk with cornstarch until smooth. Cook the mixture over low heat, pouring in the remaining amount of milk and stirring occasionally, bring to a boil. It should be a fairly thick paste. Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted. Spread the sauce over the top layer of the lasagna and bake for about an hour. Check the dish after 25 minutes. If the top layer is too brown, spray it with oil and cover with baking paper or foil. When the dish is ready, remove the paper/foil carefully so as not to disturb the top layer of the lasagna.
