12 Tbs butter
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
250g minced beef
1 can peeled tomatoes
1 Tbs tomato paste

or use pasta sauce recipe

2 Tbs Flour
300ml milk

Method::
To make a quick fresh sauce
Fry off the garlic and onion in the butter and then add in the mince, Add 50ml milk and cook till browned. Add tomatoes, paste and herbs and simmer for 15 minutes.
Or use pre made pasta sauce, see this site.
To make the Bechamel sauce: Melt the butter and add flour to make a roux. Then slowly add milk to make a thickish bechamel sauce. Flavour with parmesan cheese and add salt to taste.
Boil pasta till al dente and drain. Add to bechamel sauce and toss to coat. Plate on a large plate with a well in the middle and fill the middle with pasta sauce. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
I love the taste of lasagna but it is an effort to make. This is my 10 minute version that has all the same flavour and texture. I usually use my frozen pasta sauce, see recipe on this site, so I can knock this up in the time it takes to cook the pasta and whip up a bechamel sauce.
This also make a pretty good microwave lunch. In a plastic tub container put a layer of pasta in bechamel sauce, then a layer of meat sauce and so on. Refrigerate and microwave the next day.
