Nothing beats a classic lasagne when you fancy a delicious dinner that'll also warm you up during the colder winter months.
But making them from scratch can be a struggle, as there are many different components to think about - the bechamel, the pasta sheets and the rich ragu, to name a few.
However, one recipe that was shared on BBC Food only takes 15 minutes to prepare, but still ends up tasting "delicious" and is ideal for meal prepping.
Experts say the recipe can be prepared in just 15 minutes and takes 25 to 30 minutes to cook, the Express reports.
The description reads: “Kids will love to help assemble this easiest-ever pasta bake with streaky bacon, beef mince, a creme fraiche sauce and gooey mozzarella.”
The lasagne filling takes inspiration from a classic Italian ragu which uses beef mince, with some extra smokiness and rich flavour from the added bacon.
Mozzarella and parmesan make the lasagne even more indulgent, but if you want to leave out the mozzarella then it will still taste delicious.
One tablespoon olive oil
Two rashers smokey streaked bacon
One onion, finely chopped
One celery stick , finely chopped
One medium carrot, grated
Two garlic cloves, finely chopped
500g beef mince
One tablespoon tomato puree
Two 400g cans chopped tomatoes
One tablespoon clear honey
500g fresh egg lasagne sheets
400ml creme fraiche
125 ball mozzarella, roughly torn
50g grated parmesan
Large handful of basil leaves, torn
1. Start by heating the oil in a large saucepan. Use kitchen scissors to snip the bacon into small pieces, or use a sharp knife to chop it on a chopping board.
Add the bacon to the pan and cook for just a few minutes until it starts to turn golden. Add the onion, celery and carrot, and cook over a medium heat for five minutes,
