Ingredients

  • 600 g beef mince
  • 1 brown onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp italian herbs
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 400 g tomatoes tinned
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 8 lasagna pasta sheets broken into rough pieces
  • 1-2 cups water

Instructions

  • To the slow cooker add: beef mince, onion, garlic, dried Italian herbs, tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, and beef stock to the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper. Stir well to combine and break up the mince as much as possible.

  • Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 7 hours, until the mince is cooked through and the flavours have developed.

  • Once the bolognese is thick and rich, stir in the broken lasagna sheets. Press them gently into the sauce so they are fully submerged. Top up with water. Cover and cook on high for 50 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. Stir once halfway through to prevent sticking. Add a splash of stock or water if it looks too thick.
