Preheat the oven to 400u00b0F. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking up with a wooden spoon. Spoon off excess fat.

Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar and simmer for 15 mins.

Remove the beef sauce from the heat, stir in the basil, then spoon one-third into a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Arrange 3 sheets of lasagne on top, then spread over one-third of the white sauce. Repeat twice. Sprinkle with the remaining cheddar.

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.
