1 tsp each of olive oil and butter

1/2 tsp anise seed
1/2 tsp coriander
1/2 cup red wine
2-19 ounce cans of crushed tomatoes
2 tsp tomato paste

On medium heat cook onions, minced meat/veggies with salt, pepper, coriander, anise seed and basil with olive oil and butter until well browned. Add wine and simmer until wine is absolved (no cover). Add tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, and sugar. Bring to a medium boil and lower to simmer. Cook for 45 minutes. Serves 6.

For first time lasagna constructors or people like me who need constant cooking instruction, my pal Jenny (visit her cool iguana site... link is on main page!) has drawn up a diagram.

(I promise that it wasn`t previously a biology diagram of skin first!)

In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté 2 to 3 minutes, or until translucent. Add meat, garlic, tomato sauce and 1 1/2 cups water. Simmer 20 minutes. Stir in chilli powder, cayenne pepper, cumin, oregano, pepper, salt, and beans. Allow to simmer an additional 30 to 40 minutes. Combine cornstarch and cold water.
