This turned out to be pretty awesome!
Serves 6 (large portions) or 8 (smaller portions)
Ingredients
800g beef mince
300g courgette/zuchini
1/3 of a batch of 'nomato' sauce
'cheese' sauce
salt, black pepper, nutmeg, oregano, sage, basil (any other spices you prefer)
Fry the beef mince in a pan (you may need to split it into two batches), with plenty of fat. You only need to brown it for 5 minutes.
Peel the courgettes and slice then thinly (5mm strips it fine)
Place all of the beef mince in one pan, add the spices and half of the 'nomato' sauce.
cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Prepare the 'cheese' sauce.
Once the 'cheese' sauce is ready, pre-heat the oven to 180oC.
Combine the remaining 'nomato' sauce with the beef mince.
Put half of the mince into a over proof dish (mine is a few inches deep and roughly 20x30cm - you may need more courgettes for a larger dish), then add a layer of courgettes and cover with 1/3 of the cheese sauce.
Cover with the remaining beef mince, another layer of courgettes and the remaining cheese sauce (you can put some black pepper on the top).
Bake for 20-30 minutes.
Enjoy! :D
