- Preheat oven to 180oC.
- To make the meat sauce, heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft. Add beef mince and continue cooking until brown.
- Stir in sugo and basil, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- To make the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a separate saucepan. Stir in flour and cook for 2–3 minutes over gentle heat.

- To assemble the lasagne, pour 1⁄2 cup of the meat sauce into a lightly greased baking dish and spread to cover base. Alternate layers of lasagne sheets, meat and cheese sauce, ending with a cheese sauce layer.
- Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and bake for 30–40 minutes or until cooked through.
