Ingredients
- Lasagna pasta sheets
- 500 g (about 1 lb) ground beef
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 2 carrots, finely diced
- 1 rib celery, finely diced
- 1½ tbsp tomato paste
- 300 ml (1¼ cups) tomato sauce
Seasonings
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 200 ml (¾ cup + 2 tbsp) soy cream or your favorite cooking cream
- 100 ml (about ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp) water
Toppings
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh basil (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a little butter and olive oil in a large pan.
- Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for a few minutes until softened.
- Add the ground beef, tomato paste, and all the seasonings. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the beef is fully cooked.
- Stir in the minced garlic, tomato sauce, soy cream, and water. Cover and simmer over low-medium heat for 20 minutes. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more water.
- Break one lasagna sheet in half. Place the two halves in the center of the sauce, then add two more halves along the sides to create a layer. Cover and cook on low heat for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle generously with mozzarella, cover, and cook for another 5 minutes until the cheese is completely melted.
- Finish with Parmesan and fresh basil, if using.
- Scoop it straight from the pan onto a plate and enjoy!
Recipe Tips
Keep the heat low while the lasagna sheets cook so they have enough time to soften without the sauce drying out. If needed, add a small splash of water to keep the sauce creamy.
For an extra cheesy finish, add a little more mozzarella before covering the pan and letting it melt.
