Cooking Steps

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Finely chop celery. • Thinly slice leek. • Grate carrot. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. Drain excess oil from the pan. Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the carrot.

• Add celery, leek and carrot to the pan with beef and cook until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium-low, then add Kiwi spice blend, tomato paste and the balsamic vinegar and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, then add chicken-style stock powder, the water, butter(for the filling) and the brown sugar and stir to combine. Season generously with salt and pepper.

• Meanwhile, heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter (for the sauce) and plain flour and cook, stirring until a thin paste forms, 1 minute. • Remove pan from heat, then slowly whisk in the milk until a smooth sauce forms. • Stir through shredded Cheddar cheese, then season with salt and pepper.

• Slice fresh lasagne sheets in half widthways. • Spoon 1/4 of the mince filling into a baking dish, followed by 1/4 of the béchamel, then top with a lasagne sheet. Repeat with remaining filling, béchamel and lasagne sheets. • Finish with a final lasagne sheet and the remaining béchamel. Little cooks: Take the lead and help assemble the lasagne, careful the filling is hot!

• Bake lasagne, until filling is bubbling and top is golden brown, 20-25 minutes.

• Divide monster beef and hidden veggie lasagne between plates. • To serve, cut off one corner of the plant-based basil pesto packet and draw a fun face on the lasagne. Enjoy! Little cooks: Unleash your inner artist! Kids can help draw the fun faces.
