  • Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 180 degrees. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped brown onion, garlic, finely chopped celery, and finely grated carrot. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

  • Step 2

    Increase the heat to high and add the beef mince to the pan. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes.

  • Step 3

    Add the chopped tomatoes and crumbled beef stock cube to the pan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Step 4

    While the sauce simmers, make the bechamel sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

  • Step 5

    In a lasagne dish, spread a layer of the meat sauce. Cover with lasagne sheets. Spread a layer of bechamel sauce over the sheets, then sprinkle with a mix of grated parmesan and cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of bechamel and cheese on top.

  • Step 6

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling. Let stand for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with coarsely chopped fresh basil.
