Whip up a quick and convenient dish by combining cream cheese with pre-chopped veggies - easy prep, easy cleanup!
Ingredients:
  • 18.20 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 400g diced fresh vegetable mix (see note)
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 600g pork and veal mince
  • 2 x 500g jars oven-roasted garlic and red wine tomato pasta sauce
  • 250g tub spreadable cream cheese
  • 12 small fresh lasagne sheets
  • 500.00 ml mozzarella, grated
  • Extra fresh thyme leaves, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat oil. Sauté vegetables until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and thyme, cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in mince and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Pour in pasta sauce and 1/3 cup of water. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan-forced. Then, generously spread cream cheese on one side of each lasagne sheet.
  • Cover the bottom of a 6cm-deep, 25cm x 32cm rectangular ovenproof dish with 1 1/2 cups of mince mixture. Place 3 lasagne sheets, cheese-side up, over the mince mixture, trimming to fit. Sprinkle 1/3 cup of mozzarella on top. Repeat layering lasagne sheets, mince mixture, and mozzarella to create 3 layers. Finish by placing the remaining lasagne sheets on top and sprinkling with the remaining mozzarella.
  • Lightly grease foil and cover the dish. Bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is golden and the lasagne sheets are tender. Let it stand for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra thyme leaves.
