Serves 1Ingredients
- 200g extra lean beef mince
- 150g courgette slices
- 150g tinned chopped tomatoes
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 50ml water
- 65g mozzarella
- 35ml sweet chilli sauce
- Salt & pepper to taste
Method
Pre-heat your oven to 190°C fan/400°F.
Put a frying pan onto a medium heat, add the olive oil and the beef mince.
Spend a few minutes browning the mince and break up any large clumps of meat.
When the mince is browned, add the garlic and allow this to soften for a minute or so.
Blend the chopped tomatoes until smooth and add them to the pan along with the dried herbs, water and sweet chilli sauce.
Give everything a good mix and bring this to the boil, then allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes to reduce and thicken the sauce.
When you're happy with the consistency of the sauce, taste it to check the seasoning and take it off the heat.
Take a small oven proof ceramic dish and coat the bottom with some of the sauce.
Add a layer of courgette and cover with more sauce.
Repeat this until you've used all your sauce and courgette slices.
Top the lasagne with all of the mozzarella for a lovely cheesy topping!
Bake this in the oven for 20-30 minutes to cook the courgette and to melt the mozzarella to a lovely golden brown.
Serve with some steamed broccoli.
