This is what I usually do:

2 onions
2 cloves of garlic

Fry them up a bit

500g mince - 10% fat

Brown the mince in the same pan

3 tablespoons of red lentils
1 courgette chopped up into quarter slices
Supermarket red lasagne sauce

All in the same pan. Cook corgettes through.

Then layer up with supermarket pasta sheets and white sauce.

Top with cheese.

Bake until cooked.

End result is very tasty but how can I up my game?

Charlie Bigham’s. If you’re going to use jar sauces why not just buy the whole thing?

No judgment, I have never made a lasagne and have no intention to as it’s a massive faff and I can buy good ready made.

Because I want to make it and move away from the jar sauce if it will taste better without

More garlic.
Some grated carrot and celery chopped finely, cooked with the finely sliced onion.
Beef and pork mince.
Italian herbs (varies according to what I pull out of the cupboard but usually basil, oregano, tiny bit of sage)
white pepper.
Tinned tomatoes and tomato puree rather than a jar of red sauce. Dash of Worcester sauce.

Layer and always put plenty of cheese on the top of the final sauce layer.

Make far more than you think you'll need and then portion up when cold and freeze for emergencies.

Oh yes I always make extra!
