Ingredients:
* 2 jars of chunky pasta sauce
* 250g ricotta cheese
* 300g mozzarella cheese
* 500g beef mince
* 1 capsi(edited)
* 1 eggplant
* lasagna noodles (quantity depends on size of baking dish and size of sheets, approx 6 "normal sized" sheets)
* 4 table spoons of butter
* 1/4 cup of flour
* 1.5 cups of milk
* A bit of pepper, maybe some herbs
First, start the oven up to 200C so that by the time you finish preparing the lasagna it should be ready to go. Chop up the eggplant and capsi(edited), and cook the mince with a bit of pepper. Add herbs if you feel like it.
Then, in a rectagle baking dish, spread a bit of pasta sauce on the bottom, enough to cover. Lay lasagna sheets. Spread 125g (half) of the ricotta cheese, and 125g of mozzarella cheese. Spread half mince, half capsi(edited), half eggplant (see a pattern here?).
Cover with lasagna sheets, cover with sauce, and add the rest of the "half of" stuff again. Keep about 50g of mozzarella cheese, you'll need it for the white cheesy sauce later. Cover with lasagna sheets again, and add remaining pasta sauce.
Now we'll make the white cheesy sauce. Put the remaining ingredients (butter, milk, flour, cheese) into a saucepan and heat on low heat until it's nice and thick. Then pour it on the top of the lasagna.
Cover with aluminium foil (shiny side down!), and put into the oven for an hour. Once it's done, take it out and let it stand for a bit, and then enjoy!!!
