Method: How to make Gordon's classic lasagne al forno
1!. Pre-heat the oven to 225°C!.

2!. Heat the olive oil in a hot pan!. Grate the onion and carrot and crush the garlic before frying together!. Season with the bay leaf, a pinch of oregano, Worcestershire sauce and a little salt and pepper!. Allow the onion to soften before making a well in the centre of the pan!. Place the mince in the middle of the pan and stir to break it up!. Add the tomato puree and allow to cook out for 30 seconds!. Continue until all the meat has browned nicely!. Add the wine and cook off the alcohol before adding the tomatoes!. Leave to simmer for a further 2-3 minutes!. Finally add the milk, turn off the heat and set aside!.

3!. To make the cheese sauce, first melt the butter in a saucepan!. Add the flour and using a wooden spoon, stir to form a paste!. Over a gentle heat add a third of the milk, whisking to prevent any lumps forming!. Add the rest of the milk a third at a time, whisking as you go!. Season with salt and pepper and a pinch of ground nutmeg!. Allow the sauce to cook out for another minute before adding the Cheddar cheese!. Stir and remove from the heat!.

4!. Spoon half of the meat sauce into the bottom of the baking dish and place pasta sheets on top (break the sheets if necessary to avoid any overlapping)!. Next, pour in just under half of the cheese sauce, and spread evenly using a spatula before spooning the remaining meat on top!. Add the final layer of pasta and use the spatula to pour over the remaining cheese sauce!.

5!. Finish with the grated Parmesan and sprinkle with another pinch of oregano!. Add a light seasoning of salt and pepper before cleaning the edges of the dish and placing in the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown!.

6!. In the bottom of your salad bowl use a fork to whisk together the mustard, vinegar and olive oil!. Season with salt and pepper!. Carefully open the head of lettuce, season inside with salt and pepper!. Upend the lettuce headfirst into the salad bowl!. Holding the root, wipe the leaves around the bowl to coat in the vinaigrette!. Twist the root and pull it out!. Turn the dressed head of lettuce onto a large plate and gently open out!.

7!. Portion out the lasagne and serve alongside the salad!.

Lasagna recipe ingredients: Serves 4

400 grams of finely minced lamb
150 grams of mozzarella cheese
3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
Approximately ten sheets of Lasagna (let the size of the dish be your guide)
1 small carrot chopped
5 rashers of bacon cut into small pieces
1 onion chopped
2 table spoons olive oil
Salt and black pepper (a teaspoon full of each)
500ml of tomato puree (never from the tube)
A small quantity of oregano (fresh is best but dried is ok)


Lasagna recipe cooking instructions:

1!. Peel and finely chop the onions and carrot then crush the garlic!.

2!. Add the olive oil to a low heated pan with the onion and carrot allow them to sweat in the pan for just for a few minutes!.

3!. Add the crushed garlic about thirty seconds before adding the bacon, stir evenly for a minute before adding the lamb mince and then brown off the meat!.

4!. Once the meat is brown add the tomato puree, stir evenly add the salt and black pepper!. Leave to simmer for around 20 minutes stirring occasionally!.

5!. Cook the pasta in boiling water until 'al dente', drain and lay the lasagna sheets out individually on a clean tea towel!.

6!. Add the oregano to the ragu and stir!.

7!. Add a thin layer of ragu to the bottom of the oven proof dish, then a layer of the grated or sliced mozzarella, then a layer of Lasagna!. Continue this layering 2 or three times, bearing in mind the top layer must always be cheese, or ragu, not the pasta!.

8!. Cover the dish with silver foil, place in a pre-heated oven on a middle shelf at 180?C, for around 30 minutes, then remove the silver foil and leave in the oven for a further 5 minutes!.

9!. Cut into slices and then serve!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Make a simple filling!. Fry an onion in olive oil, add a chopped carrot and some garlic and cook for about 10 minutes!. Add beef mince and cook until brown and then add a small packet of passata or a tin of tomatoes!. Add some dried oregano and simmer until the cheese topping is ready!. (For vegetarians substitute quorn mince, lentils or mixed beans for the beef mince!.)
For the cheese sauce melt an ounce of butter and stir in an ounce of flour!. Cook for a minute or two then gradually stir in milk until you have a thick sauce!. Remove from the heat and stir in a couple of ounces of cheddar cheese!.
Using the sort of lasagne that doesn't need pre-cooking (plenty of it in the supermarkets), put a layer of lasagne in a dish followed by half of the filling, then another layer of lasagne, rest of the filling and more lasagne!. Then put the cheese sauce on top and add a bit more grated cheese on top of that!.
Cook according to the instructions on the lasagne packet (probably 180 degrees for 30-40 minutes!.)
