Preparation

Start by making your meat sauce. In a pot heat up oil and add the ginger and garlic paste. Let cook for about 2 minutes and then add the meat. Make sure you break the meat up really fine to avoid big pieces later on. Meanwhile, blend the canned tomatoes. Once the water is dried up in the meat, add the tomatoes and tomato paste. Mix well and try to break the meat as much as possible for a smooth sauce. Add chilli flakes and salt and pepper to taste and let cook on low. 

For the béchamel sauce, add the butter to a sauce pan. When melted add the flour and immediately start to stir to create a roux. Make sure there are no lumps. Add the milk and keep stirring till it thickens up. Add a handful of cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Now layer the lasagna by buttering the bottom of a baking dish. Layer the bottom with the pasta sheets then add the meat sauce and then the béchamel. Repeat till you’ve reached the top or till you’ve run out of the sauces. Cover the top with shredded cheese and sprinkle some oregano. Bake in the over at 350 for 15-20 mins till golden brown.
