Cooking Steps

• Note: This recipe is designed to be cooked with your child under adult supervision • Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Finely chop celery. Thinly slice leek. Grate the carrot. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook pork mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the carrot.

• Add leek, celery and carrot to the frying pan 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.

• 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 sheet in half widthways. • Spoon roughly 1/4 of the mince filling into a baking dish, follow with 1/4 of bechamel, then top with a fresh lasagne sheet. Repeat with remaining filling, bechamel and lasagne sheets. • Finish with a final lasagne sheet, then remaining bechamel. • Bake lasagne until filling is bubbling and top is golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Little cooks: Take the lead and help assemble the lasagne, careful the filling is hot!

• Bake lasagne until golden, 20-25 minutes.

• Divide monster pork and hidden veggie lasagne between plates. • Cut off one corner of the basil pesto packet and draw a fun face on the lasagne. Enjoy!
