2 tablespoon tomato paste

2 tablespoon chopped basil

2 tablespoon cornflour

Method

1.Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Heat a lightly oiled saucepan on medium. Cook onion and garlic for 3 minutes, or until soft. Add mince and cook for 4 minutes or until no longer pink, stirring to break up any lumps. Stir in tomato, tomato paste, basil and 1/4 cup water. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

2.Meanwhile, combine cornflour and 1/4 cup of milk. Bring remaining milk to the boil in a pan on high heat. Add cornflour mixture and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, or until thick.

3.Lay one-third of noodles in a 24 x 24cm ovenproof dish, top with one-third mince mixture and one-third sauce. Repeat layers twice. Top with mozzarella and bake for 20 minutes. Serve with salad.
