Everyone needs a lasagne recipe in their repertoire, and if you'll allow us to boast a little, we think our version of the classic is pretty much perfect. You'll layer rich beef ragù & cheesy béchamel sauce between lasagne sheets before baking till bubbling and golden. Serve with a fresh red gem wedge salad.

Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 400°F/ Gas 6
Peel and finely slice the shallot[s]
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the sliced shallot with a generous pinch of salt and cook for 4 min or until softened
Meanwhile, top, tail, peel and finely dice the carrot[s]
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Boil a kettle
Once softened, add the beef mince to the shallot, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go
Increase the heat to high and cook for 4 min or until browned and caramelised
Meanwhile, crumble the chestnut mushrooms into bite-sized pieces using your hands
Dissolve the beef stock cube[s], tomato paste, Henderson's Relish, dried oregano and a pinch of sugar in 300ml [600ml] boiled water – this is your tomato stock
Grate the cheddar cheese
Once caramelised, add the diced carrot to the pan and cook for 2 min
Add the crumbled mushrooms and chopped garlic and cook for 1 min
Add the tomato stock and cook for 5 min or until thickened to a ragù-like consistency
Meanwhile, melt 30g [60g] butter in a pot over a medium heat
Once melted, add 30g [60g] flour & stir with a wooden spoon for 1-2 min or until a sandy paste forms – this is your roux
Add 350ml [700ml] milk gradually & whisk for 5-8 min or until a smooth, thick sauce remains
Remove from the heat, season with salt & pepper and stir through the cheese – this is your béchamel
Layer some of the ragù over the bottom of an oven-proof dish, then top with 3 lasagne sheets
Repeat this process until you end up with a final layer of lasagne sheets
Tip: you may need to layer differently depending on the size of your dish!
Top with the béchamel, ensuring all of the pasta is covered and cook in the oven for 30-35 min or until the pasta is cooked
Meanwhile, combine the balsamic vinegar with 2 tbsp [4 tbsp] olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper – this is your dressing
Wash, then chop the red gem in half, lengthways
Serve the cooked lasagne with the red gem on the side, drizzle with the dressing and enjoy!
