Bolognese Lasagna

My lovely friend did Bolognese last week. When she cooked it, the smell of Bolognese was full of the house. I asked her how to cook it. Surprisingly, she roasted tomato before starting to simmer the sauce. I think this one more step enriches the flavor. My friend used Bolognese with spaghetti. Doing some different cooking. How about cook Bolognese with lasagna sheets?

(4) When it is ready, place all roasted tomato into a bowl. Then, juice all by a kitchen blender.

 

(5) Prepare finely chopped garlic clove and onion and chili pepper. Place around 2 table spoon of olive oil into a fried pan. Switch to medium heat. Place chili pepper and clove into the fried pan. Stir for around 1~2 minutes.

(6) Place chopped onion into the pan. Stir for a while. Cover the lid and cook it around 5 minutes.

 

(7) Place beef and pork mince into the pan. Fried the mince until it is colored.
(8) Prepare the gravy. Pour gravy and tomato sauce into the fried pan.

 

(9) Add tomato puree and grated carrot in. Mix all ingredients well. Boil them. And then, simmer it for around 2 hour.

Steps of Assembly

(2) Add 2 lasagna sheets over the top.

(3) Cover the Bolognese sauce over the lasagna sheets. And then, drizzle some grated cheese over the top
(4) Repeat step (2) and (3) until using out all lasagna sheets.
(5) Cover the Bolognese sauce over the lasagna sheets. Use the rest of grated cheese over the top. Cover with a kitchen foil and send it into the pre-heat oven at 200C/392F/Gas Mark 6 for 25 minutes. Then, uncover the kitchen foil and cook for another 15~20 minutes until the surface turns a little golden and brown.
