lasagna

Yeah, lasagna is good! So, here's how I do it. You need to do cheese sauce and meat sauce. I use also ready made lasagna "plates", 'cuz it's way too much work if you make it from beginning to the end, in a real way. I'm no cook, so this can be funny;) Ingredients: Cheese sauce: 2 table spoons of margarin approx 1 dl wheat flour 6 dl milk 1 tea spoon salt lil bit of black pepper lil bit of nutmeg 150-200 grams of cheese Meat sauce: 1 table spoon of oil 250-300 grams of ground beef(10% fat or less) 1 BIG onion 1 or 2 garlic cloves 1 can of smashed tomatoes 1 table spoon of tomato paste some black pepper some oregano Cheese sauce: Melt the margarin in a pot, add flour and heat up, don't burn it though! Add milk little by little, while mixing. Add spices. Remove pot from hot plate. Add most of the cheese. Meat sauce: Fry meat and smashed onion in oil. Add smashed tomatoes and spices. Let it heat up for some time. Lasagna: Put layer of cheese souce on bottom of a rectangular mould. Put lasagne some plates on top of this(so it covers cheese nicely), then put layer of meat sauce and layer of cheese sauce on top of that. Repeat 3-4 times, depending of the size of your mould. Put remains of the cheese on top(you can use also mozzarella, very good!) Put in oven, 200C(392F) 30-40 min. Bon Appetit!

I just use the recipe on the side of the box of lasagne noodles. Over time, I have altered it just slightly (added more of some spices, less of others) to suit my family's tastes but even if you do it right off the box, it turns out good. Of course, Olive Garden makes a really good lasagne too!

Well Sexyanne, what about coming to Italia, the birth-place of the lasagna? As I'm vegetarian I eat only "green" lasagna, it's a kind of lasagna without meat, and it's delicious as the other kinds of lasagna you eat. Well, Italian lasagnas are waiting for you.... here in Italy you won't find only lasagna.... :-)

Better learn spaghetti, is easier & can be done in a zip. Anyway its still very much similar to spaghetti, only that you dont mix over the sauce. you still have to boil the lasagna, then spread or overlay the sauce over the lasagna one over the other. The base should be lasagna & the top as well. Same sauce as the spaghetti.
