Lasagne recipie

In honour of oldest son's 16th bday, I bring you one of his fave dinners - home made lasagne. Spelt the English way lol. Really need to get my charries to eat something different cos it doesn't look right ending in an A but oh well. So onto the recipe. Prep time about 25 mins. Cooking time 90mins.

pkt mince
tin chopped tomatoes or dollop of tomato puree
2 oxos/stock cubes
mixed herbs

as much cheese as you like :)

add tomatoes, oxos, mixed herbs and stir.
add boiling water, enough to cover meat and cook til all water is absorbed.
