I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
I recommend making the white sauce first, set aside and continue with the meat sauce without washing the bowl
Place all cheesy white sauce ingredients in the TM bowl and cook for 12 minutes, 100 degrees, speed 3. Once cooked, transfer the sauce into a separate bowl and set aside while you prepare the meat sauce. Without washing the bowl, place onion, garlic and carrots in the TM bowl and chop for 5 seconds, speed 5. Scrape down sides of bowl, add oil and sauté for 2 minutes, 100 degrees, soft spoon speed (slowest speed setting), MC OFF.
Add tomato paste or pesto and cook for 1 minute, 100 degrees, soft spoon speed (slowest setting), MC OFF.
Add tomato passata, salt, pepper and stock concentrate and cook for 3 minutes, 100 degrees, soft spoon speed, MC ON.
Place mince into TM simmering basket and spoon some of the sauce over the top of the mince. Put the basket (with mince inside) into the TM bowl with the sauce. Cook for 15 minutes, 100 degrees, speed 1. About halfway through cooking break up the mince using a fork.
Tip mince out of the basket and into the TM bowl with the sauce. Cook for a further 5 mintues, 100 degrees, reverse, soft spoon speed.
Preheat oven at 180 degrees.
Now it's time to assemble your lasagne. Start by spooning some of the meat sauce into the bottom of a baking tray. Spoon some white sauce over and then top with lasagne sheets. Spoon another layer of meat sauce, then white sauce and top with lasagne sheets. Repeat this layering until all the sauce is used, finishing with white sauce on top. Sprinkle with grated cheese and bake for about 30 minutes until cheese has melted.
Let the lasagne rest before serving, preferably for a few hours if you have time (reheat before serving), otherwise for about 15-20 minutes if not making ahead of time. Serve on its own or with salad/chips and enjoy!!
Tip
This recipe is very versatile and any ingredients can be added to your preferred taste, like extra veg, herbs, spices, sugar etc.
The cheese sauce is based on the recipe for bechamel sauce in the basic cookbook, however I have halved it and added cheese.
I find the lasagne is best when made a few hours or even a day ahead.

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Love this recipe! I make several small lasagnes and freeze them for nights I am too tired to cook. Thanks for sharing.
Looooove this recipe. It's a weekly staple for us, and a great way for me to use up leftover veg. I sub some of the meat for lentils, and add short pasta at the point of tipping the meat into the bowl, and it's perfect every time. Saves me having to make it into a lasagne. I hope thermomix automates this recipe. It's the best!!! Thanks for sharing!
This is going in my 'must make again' category. So good.
Guysssss!
I make this every other week! Ever since I first found it, it has been the ONLY lasagne I'll make and I will absolutely not order one when we're out, because I know I'll be disappointed!
We LOVE LOVE LO💜E this recipe!
My husband hates lasagna but was willing to try this and came back for seconds - told me this is a must to cook again. This recipe didnt have an oil sludge at bottom of the lasagna and the flavour was superb!!
My partner that doesn't even like lasagne told me he would pay for this 😂 I switched the sheets with San remo gluten free lasagne sheets and it is an absolute winner in my house.
Was so delicious I cant wait to cook it again
Thank you
This recipe is amazing! My husband actually said it’s the best lasagne he’s ever had... that’s definitely a compliment!
I substituted the tomato paste for a can of Ardmona rich and thick diced tomatoes and it was perfect! I will definitely add more veggies next time!! Thanks so much ☺️
My go to mince recipe - kids love it and always ask for seconds.
Easy and tasty!
