project lasagna in the house

Remember this? Thalia frozen lasagna that we bought from Cold Storage Alamanda? It has vegetables - corn, carrots, green peas - much to Iman's irritation. And he doesn't eat vege.



So I decided to do my own version of lasagna. For the meat sauce, the same ingredients and cooking method as beef bolognese sauce. Large onion, Prego ready-to-cook pasta sauce, Ramly ground beef, canned mushroom. Let it be a little watery to soak the pasta sheet while baking later.


 

Seen above before baking it. Layered with white sauce. White sauce contains butter, flour, milk and cheese. I used 2 sheets of cheese. Yep, the ones that we eat with bread. Too kedekut to buy mozarella. Why so mahal? Did not dare to use almost-RM20-per-pack cheese for my first trial, I opted for cheaper version. Less 'berlemak' feeling. But the drawback is that, when you cut this baby, no cheese stringing here and there. Less sexy I think :D 


Tadaaaa!! Cooked. Well, you know the proverb - do not judge the book by its cover. So tak cantik. The word sexy is so not to describe this :D

White sauce not evenly distributed - Adam did the top layer. (alasan!)
Baking dish is not deep enough - time to get a proper one (ting!)
I should have covered this with aluminium foil, no?

Oh ya, I did not measure the baking dish with the oven. It could not fit the oven just by milimetres! Then I tried putting it 'membujur'.. please... please... please... let this fit in. Let this fit in. Alhamdulillah.. muat! Cukup2 je kepanjangan untuk tutup pintu over. Next action - get a new bigger oven (ting!)


But honestly, sedap. The best lasagna, Kakak cakap. Ahh kids. Jangan puji-puji sangat, kang tetiap minggu Ummi buat hihi.


Anyway, I used this San Remo Instant Lasagna sheets.No need to soak or blanch. Just layer this between meat sauce and white sauce.

Resepi? Ada kat belakang kotak nun..

  2. CT ~ pasta ni senang je nak masak kan. One dish meal. All covered. But my husband tak layan sangat pasta-pasta ni. cheddar pun mahal jugak kan. but now i know how to bake it, maybe can try with mozarella/cheddar nanti.
