Meat Sauce Mixed.

• Heat up the olive oil, add in the garlic, onions and brown them. Add in the mince meat..Cooked until brown...
• Add in the whole tomatoes into the meat mixed...mashed it a little bit..
• Pour in the powdered bolognaise mixed
• Pour in the Prego spagetti sauce..stir all ingredients well..
• Add about half the bottle of water...
• Salt..sugar..pepper to taste...
• Cooked until slightly thick with still some liquid flow if you laddle it..

White Cheese Mixed.

• Pour 2 cups milk in a saucepan..heat up slowly...add in the Bechamel sauce powder..use a whisk to mix them
• If you see steam from the mixture..add in the Ricotta cheese..whisk well to mix..
• Put the 2 eggs and whisked again..
• Add the parsley...salt and pepper to taste...
• Cooked until thick but can still drop from a spoon nicely..add milk or water if too thick...you want to spread this easily so it cannot be too thick...

Putting it together..

• Take either a metal pan or any oven ware....3 to 4 sheets of the lasagna can fit lengthwise.
• Take a few scoop of the meat sauce and layer it at the bottom of pan...
• Arrange the lasagna pieces over the meat sauce..put them close but not overlap..press it a bit
• Put another layer of meat sauce over the lasagna sheets....
• Now put the white sauce layer almost equal amount to cover the meat sauce...it doesn't have to cover the whole layer....
• Sprinkle some mozarella cheese and Parmesan cheese...
• Repeat lasagna -->meat sauce-->white sauce--> cheese 2x
• Top most layer additional Parmesan and Mozarella..cover the entire surface.
• Put an aluminum foil over the last cheese layer but not to touch it..
• Baked in a preheated 375/180 oven..covered for about 45 mins....remove cover and heat another 30mins till the cheese slightly brown...
• Take it out of oven...let it cool and ready to serve....
• left overs can be frozen....and reheated later on in a microwave...

I sometimes add sprinkles of dry chillies in the meat sauce to spice it up coz I don't like it sourish...

p/s..Thanks to Dali for the original recipe....who cooked the meat sauce from scratch...and thanks to Aida for variation of the white cheese sauce...
