Listed is the ingredients for the meat sauce:
2 tbs canola oil
1.1kg ground meat, med-lean beef
1 whole onion
2 minced garlic
1 tspn black ground pepper
1/2 tspn salt
1 tbs italian herbs
1 tbs parmesan cheese
1 can of tomato paste
1 can of tomato sauce
1 can of diced tomato
Add oil into a large pot on medium-heat, followed by the ground meat:
Stir the ground meat around for 3 minutes, and add the onion. Stir until brown.
Let it cook on low for another 5 minutes. Meanwhile, do you notice that there is plenty of liquid produced in the mixture? Most of it wold be oil. So, pick up that ladle and start scooping out lots and lots of oil. (lol)
Then, add the rest of the ingredients listed. Put the heat on max until the sauce mixture boils - then put on low and cook for 2 hours - stirring occasionally. Why 2 hours - during this time, I evaporated most of the water in the sauce, making it nice and thick. Meanwhile, I also try to get a lot of the oil out using the ladle. I think in the end, I accumulated at least 1.5 cup of oil. (ew)
Next list of ingredients:
12 pieces of dry lasagna
1 zucchini, sliced
1/3 eggplant(1.5lb) thinly sliced
2 cups of spinach, chopped
200g mozzarella cheese, grated
1/2 lb fresh mushroom, sliced
Let the pictures tell the story, shall we?
Bake it for 45 mins at 350F (180C).
When you're all done with the above, you'll realize you have meat sauce leftover for another (delicious spaghetti) dinner, another time! I froze mine for one of those days that I don't have the time at all ^^
After waiting hungrily, this is what you should get for all your hard work (5 more minutes in the oven should make it more golden-brown, but we were too hungry ^^;) :
We usually cut it into 6, and have 1 piece (or a little bit more) each per meal.
Enjoy it with a fresh bowl of salad (romaine leaves, spinach, cucumber, tomato, bell pepper + ranch dressing)! ^^~
I rate this meal YUM! x 5
