Homemade Cheats Lasagne

This is the regular lasagne that I make, usually makes 8 servings. It's partly homemade in that I can't stand jarred Bolognese sauce, and partly cheated since I've never made a white sauce nor pasta. Hopefully this will be rectified in the future, but for now, here's the recipe for an easy and delicious lasagne. :)

Bolognese :

1/2 onion
450g minced beef
3 cloves garlic
1cm ginger
200g mushrooms
1 tin chopped tomatoes or 5 large tomatoes

White Sauce :

or
1 batch homemade (Recipe to follow... someday)
