Simple lasagna

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 8 lasagna sheets
• 300 g minced meat, mixed (or beef only)
• 1 small can of pizza tomatoes
• 1 cup whipped cream
• 1 bag of cheese, grated
• 3 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 onion(s)
• 1 clove(s) garlic
• Oil for frying
• salt and pepper
• nutmeg
• Paprika powder, sweet
• Herbs, Italian
• Garlic powder, optional
• 1 pinch(s) of sugar, optional
• Fat for the mold

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 35 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 5 minutes

For the lasagna, grease a small baking dish. Finely chop the onions and garlic and sauté in oil until translucent. Then add the minced meat and fry. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika, and add the tomato paste. Deglaze with the pizza tomatoes. Mix well and season with salt, pepper, Italian herbs, and any other spices (see notes). Important: Taste for flavor. If it’s not flavorful enough, add more salt; if it’s too acidic, add a pinch of sugar. Remove the pot or pan from the heat. Season the heavy cream with salt, pepper, and nutmeg (optional: garlic powder) and whisk to combine. The number of lasagna sheets is approximate. The size of the baking dish and the number of layers also play a role. I used an oval dish and made three layers. Layer as follows: lasagna sheets, tomato-minced meat mix, and cream sauce. Add the remaining cream to the last layer of minced meat, as this creates the tomato-creamy sauce. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top (usually less than one packet is enough). Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (top/bottom heat) for about 15 minutes, until the cheese begins to turn golden brown. Note: The spices vary in quantity and composition. I recommend using the spices listed, but you can add more to the recipe as desired (curry powder, soy sauce, cayenne pepper, etc.). A layer of toasted cheese in the middle of the lasagna also works well.
