Preheat the oven to 400u00b0F. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the onion over a low heat for 6-8 mins, until golden. Stir in the garlic and season. Saute for 1-2 mins.

Crumble the ground beef into the pan and saute for 4-5 mins, stirring. Deglaze the pan with red wine then stir in the tomato puree and chopped tomatoes. Add the basil, bay leaf and sugar and season. Gently simmer for 15-20 mins.

Melt the butter in a saucepan then stir in the flour and saute for 1-2 mins. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth then simmer for 5-10 mins, until the bechamel sauce thickens.

Layer the lasagne noodles on top then spoon over half the ground beef. Pour some of the bechamel on top then repeat until the ingredients are used up.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
