One-pot lasagne
An easy one-pot lasagne recipe the whole family will love
You can get all the ingredients you need for this easy family meal from Northbridge Plaza stores including Woolworths, LoSurdo's, Craig Cook the Natural Butcher and Simon Johnson.
Lasagne is the ultimate crowd-pleasing comfort meal. Who doesn’t love rows of hearty bolognese sauce and melted cheese between tender pasta sheets — and don’t forget that crispy top layer! It’s a classic dish the whole family can get on board with.
The only downside to this mouth-watering family meal? With so many different elements involved, it can get a little messy! From boiling the pasta, to cooking the mince and layering the sauce and cheese, the cook-up can leave you with a kitchen filled with dirty pans and dishes.
The good news is, lasagne doesn’t have to equal loads of mess! With this simple one-pot recipe, all of the elements are cooked in the same dish — resulting in minimal clean-up! It’s quick, easy and delicious and will leave you with plenty of leftovers for the rest of the week (although we can’t guarantee that the family won’t go back for seconds!).
