Before you jump to Lovely Lasagne recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Finding Healthful Fast Food.
Almost each and every “get healthy” and “weight loss” article you study will tell you to skip the drive through and make all of your meals yourself. This is actually excellent information. But at times the last thing you wish to do is make a whole dinner for yourself and your family. Sometimes all you want is to go to the drive through and get home quickly. There is simply no reason that you shouldn’t be able to make it happen once in a while and be free of the guilt usually associated with “diet slips”. You can do this because most of the popular joints are now advertising “healthy” menu alternatives to keep their businesses up. Here is how you can eat healthy when you reach the drive through.
Your beverage needs to be water or juice or milk. Choosing a huge softdrink as your beverage gives hundreds of unhealthy calories to your meal. One helping of soda is eight ounces. Those eight ounces are often at least 100 calories and around ten tablespoons of sugar. A fast food soda is frequently at the very least twenty ounces. It is usually a minimum of 30 ounces. Choosing a soft drink as your beverage boosts your calorie intake by thousands and adds way too much sugar to your diet. Milk, fruit juices and also plain water are more healthy options.
Logic says that one the simplest way to stay balanced is to avoid the drive through and never eat fast food. While, in most cases, this is a good strategy, if you make intelligent choices, there is no reason to feel guilty for visiting a drive through one or two times a month. Sometimes what you need is to let another person create your dinner. When you select wholesome menu items, you do not have to feel bad about visiting the drive through.

Steps to make Lovely Lasagne:
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or pot on medium heat. Meanwhile, chop the carrot, tomatoes and mushrooms into chunks. Chop the onion finely. Crush and chop the garlic finely. Set these aside.
- Add the onions, carrot and garlic to the oil. Fry for a few minutes until the onions start to turn clear.
- Crumble the beef mince into the pan or pot and stir well. Cook through until all the meat is browned. If you wish, drain of the fat. I like to leave it in :)
- Crumble the beef stock cube into the mixture. Add the can of tomatoes, using the can to add some water to the mixture. Add the fresh tomatoes and mushrooms. Stir well to distribute the vegetables then add in the tomato purée. (Again, you can add as much as you like.)
- Season the mixture with salt, pepper, herbs and spices to your taste. Cover the pan or pot and let it simmer for a good hour. It can bubble away while you make the rest of the lasagne. Preheat your oven to 180ºC.
- Make the béchamel sauce. Melt the butter in a pot and add the flour. Stir until both ingredients are mixed together, the mixture should look a bit like dough :) Then gradually add the milk, a little at a time and let it boil each time. Stir frequently until there are no more lumps in the liquid. Add the cheese and stir until you have a lovely thick sauce. If its too thick to your liking, add more milk and stir well. Season to taste. Set the béchamel sauce aside.
- Before you start layering the lasagne, you can boil the lasagne sheets in water if you like. I normally do this, it reduces baking time and makes the sheets nice and soft. Be careful when boiling though, they tend to stick together! Another option is to use dry sheets. Just add 10 minutes onto baking time ;) Depending on the size and depth of your baking dish you may need more or less sheets. Mine fits eight plus the sauces.
- Now it's layering time :) Put the first layer of bolognese sauce in a baking dish and spread out. Then pour a little béchamel sauce on top. Cover this layer with lasagne sheets. Repeat this process until you reach the top.
- Top the lasagne with grated cheese and tomato slices. Sprinkle some herbs on top. Place the lasagne in the oven and bake for 30 - 40 minutes until golden and bubbling.
- When the lasagne is ready, place the baking dish on a wooden board or other protective surface on your table. Dig in and enjoy :)
