Cooking Instructions:

1. TO COOK THE MINCE:
Place a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the premium beef mince and cook for 3-4 mins, using a wooden spoon to break the mince into small pieces. Stir through the Napolitana sauce and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 2 mins then remove from the heat. Season with salt and pepper.
2. TO WARM THE CHEESE SAUCE:
Microwave option (preferred): Remove the lid from the cheese sauce and heat for 1 min in the microwave on high (750w). Stove top (option): Spoon the cheese sauce into a small pot and warm for 2-3 mins over a medium-low heat.
3. TO ASSEMBLE THE LASAGNA:
Using a deep-sided oven proof dish, add ½ of the mince sauce, spreading it evenly across the bottom of the dish. Place 1 of the lasagna sheets over the mince sauce. Repeat by spreading a second layer with the remaining mince sauce. Top with the remaining lasagne sheet then cover with the cheese sauce. Sprinkle with the Parmesan crumb topping then bake in the oven for 20 mins.
4. TO PREPARE THE SALAD:
Place the mesclun into a salad bowl. Just before serving, pour in the seeded dressing and toss to combine.
TO SERVE:
Using a fish-slice, cut the lasagna into 2 portions and carefully lift onto plates. Serve the salad on the side.
