- 2 garlic cloves
- 500g beef mince
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 3/4 cup red wine
- 250g packet dried lasagne pasta sheets

Method
►Preheat oven to 200C.
►Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and crushed garlic.
►Cook, stirring, for several minutes or until onion is tender. Add can of diced tomatoes and stir. Add mince. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up mince, for about 10 minutes or until browned. Most importantly, add the red wine.
►Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low.
►Lightly grease a baking dish. Spoon 1/2 cup mince mixture over base of dish.
►Arrange one quarter of pasta sheets over meat mixture, breaking sheets to fit.
►Spoon one-third of the remaining mince mixture over pasta. Add one third of the cheese sauce. Sprinkle with one-quarter of the grated cheese. Repeat layers twice adding mince, cheese sauce and grated cheese.
►Top with remaining pasta sheets, cheddar cheese. Sprinkle with parmesan. Cover dish with foil. Bake for 35 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 15 minutes or until pasta is tender and cheese golden.
