Lasagne - At its Best

I find that lasagne is a real hit or miss. Taking it from the pack is never quite the same as creating your own - it just never has the same texture, flavour or added spice (which I love!)
So here is my no-nonsense, perfect lasagne recipe.
It's pretty easy to make and is a perfect filler for the whole family, just decrease the measurements if you are feeding less mouths. Let me know what you think:

Feeds 4:

Ingredients:
1. Glug of olive oil.
2. 1 onion.
3. 3 garlic cloves, crushed.
4. Half a carrot, grated.
5. Pinch of dried oregano, basil, salt and pepper.
6. 300g good-quality mince.
7. Table spoon of tomato puree.
8. Half a tea spoon of chilli flakes.
9. 30g of butter.
10. 30g of plain flour.
11. 300ml of full-fat milk.
12. 60g of mature cheddar cheese.
13. About 20 sheets of no-cook lasagne sheets (approx).
14. Parmesan shavings.

Recipe:
1. Preheat oven to 190. Get a large pan and pour in your olive oil - on a medium heat.
2. Fry your onion and galric - trying not to brown too much for about 4 minutes.
3. Add the grated carrot, and continue to turn the ingredients.
4. Add the pinches of oregano and basil - continue to stir. Season lightly.
5. Place the mince in the pan and continue to turn.
6. Add the tomato puree, in the centre of the pan.
7. Continue to brown the meat.
8. Add the chilli flakes and continue until the meat is browned.
9. Set aside.
10. For the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a pan, add the flour and stir until a paste-like mixture is created.
11. Gradually, on a low heat, add the milk. Be patient! Continue to stir to prevent lumps. Do this for 1 minute.
12. Now, add the grated cheese, gradually. Stir and remove from the hob.
13. Grab your baking dish and cover the bottom with the meat mixture, place pasta on top. You may need to break it up to prevent over-lapping. Pop some cheese sauce on top. Pasta layer. Meat layer. Pasta and finish with the cheese sauce on top. Finally, grate parmesan on top and season.
14. Place in an oven and cook for around 25-30 minutes.
15. Serve with a salad and enjoy!

The perfect lasagne. Easy peasy.
