Peel and finely chop the onions, tomatoes, and garlic, and set aside. You can also press in the garlic later. Heat a large pan with the sunflower oil and fry the minced meat and onions for 5 minutes. Season with a little salt, marjoram, pepper, and paprika. Then add or press in a clove of garlic and fry briefly. Add the tomato paste, passata, tomato pieces, the remaining garlic, spices, and beef stock, if desired. Bring everything to a boil, stirring occasionally. Preheat the oven to 160°C top/bottom heat (180°C fan-assisted). Let the sauce simmer gently for another 10-15 minutes and season with salt and pepper. If desired, you can also add 1-2 small dried chilies. Fill a baking dish with the sauce, place a layer of lasagna sheets on top, then add another layer of sauce, lasagna sheets, and sauce. Sprinkle the Emmental cheese over the top and bake in the oven for 30 – 40 minutes.
