Method
- Lightly spray a frypan with cooking oil spray. Saute onions and garlic until soft. Stir in beef mince and cook until well browned.
- Stir in undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, herbs and simmer for 30 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Combine the cottage cheese, spinach and extra basil in a separate bowl.
- Place 1/3 of lasagne sheets over the base of a 2 litre capacity lasagne dish. Cover with 1/3 of the beef mixture and 1/3 of the cottage cheese mixture. Repeat layers twice more and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake at 180°C for 30 minutes, cover with foil and then bake for a further 30 minutes. Serve.
