MEDITERRANEAN WRAP LASAGNE

4 Farrah’s wraps of choice
500g beef mince
1 can chopped tomatoes in juice
1 small onion, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely diced
2 tablespoons soft butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1 cup grated tasty cheese
Olive oil
Baby spinach leaves
Basil leaves
Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 180°C.

To make the mince mixture:

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large fry pan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until they start to soften. Add mince and a touch more oil, season with salt and pepper. Use a wooden spoon to stir meat around the pan until it is broken up and no longer pink. Add canned tomatoes and turn to low, allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside.

To make white sauce:

Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the flour and stir with a whisk for 1 minute. Remove from heat and whisk in the milk. Return the saucepan to heat and stir until the sauce thickens. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper and ½ cup of the grated cheese. Stir until the cheese melts. Set aside.

To assemble your lasagne:

In the bottom of a baking dish, layer ¼ of the mince mixture, a few spinach leaves and 1/5 of the white sauce. Lay a wrap on top (trimmed to fit if required). Repeat with the remaining 3 layers. Finish the last layer with the remaining white sauce, and top with the remaining cheese.

Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until cheese on the top is melted and golden. Enjoy with some crudités.
