Meat Sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan or deep frying pan. Fry onion and garlic together until soft. Add the mince and cooked until brown. Add tomato paste and tomatoes, sugar, salt & pepper. Mix well and slowly add and mix in the water. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.

Assembly the Lasagna: Preheat the oven to 200*c. Pour 3/4 cups of the hot meat sauce into a base lightly greased with olive oil in a large baking dish. Place a layer of lasagna sheets on the base of the dish and cover with another 3/4 of meat sauce over the sheets. Spread 1/4 of ricotta cheese and sprinkle some parmesan (or eden) cheese. Repeat this step until all the meat sauce is used. Finish with mozzarella cheese and parmesan (or eden) layer.

Cover with foil and cook for 30-35 minutes. Then reduce the heat at 150*c, carefully remove the foil and cook for a further 10 minutes or until it is cooked through (use a fork to prick down to see the lasagna sheet is soft). Let it stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Lasagna taste great with sour cream. Put some on top of your piece, delicious! ^_^

For a perfect lasagna, make sure the lasagna sheets are completely covered with the meat sauce, this make the lasagna moist.

Ricotta cheese is totally optional. If you don't like ricotta, you can leave it out
