    • 160g coarsely grated cheddar

    Method

    1. Cook the potatoes until tender, then drain. Add butter and mash until smooth. Add milk and beat to combine.
    2. To make the bechamel sauce, melt 60 grams of butter in a saucepan over medium heat until foaming. Whisk in 50 grams of flour and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and slowly add 750 millilitres of milk, whisking constantly until smooth. Return to the heat and cook, stirring for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Season and add 150 grams of the combined cheeses. Set aside until required.
    3. Spread 375 grams of the meat mixture over the base of a 3.5L oven-proof dish. Top with a layer of pasta sheets, breaking them to fit, then add 750 grams of the remaining meat mixture on top. Finally, spoon 375 millilitres of the bechamel sauce over the meat mixture.
    4. Continue with another layer of pasta, the remaining mince mixture, and the remaining bechamel sauce. Sprinkle it with the remaining cheese. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden.

    Roast Lamb

    Ingredients
    • 2kg leg of lamb, trim the fat
    • 32g olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh rosemary leaves
    • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
    • 1.5kg chat potatoes

    Gravy

    • 480g Massel beef-style stock
    • 179g red wine
    • 2 1/2 tablespoons white plain flour

    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced) and lightly grease a roasting pan. Place the lamb in the pan. In a bowl, combine the oil, rosemary, and garlic. Rub half the oil mixture over the lamb and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes.
    2. After the initial roasting, reduce the oven temperature to 180°C. Continue to roast the lamb for 1 hour and 15 minutes, basting it with the remaining oil mixture every 20 minutes. If you prefer your lamb medium, it should be ready by this time. You can also adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness. Add the potatoes to the roasting pan for the last 40 minutes, remembering to turn them halfway through cooking.
    3. Take the lamb out of the oven and cover it loosely with foil. Let it sit for 10 minutes before carving and serving it with potatoes.
    4. Combine the stock and wine in a jug after transferring the lamb (and any vegetables) to a plate to rest. Skim the fat from the roasting pan, leaving 1 1/2 tablespoons of pan juices and fat in the pan. Place the pan over high heat, add flour, and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, for 1 to 2 minutes or until the mixture bubbles and becomes golden. Add the juices from the resting meat. Slowly add the stock mixture to the pan, stirring constantly. Cook and scrape the pan for 8 to 10 minutes or until the mixture thickens.

    • 6 eggs
    • 220g caster sugar
