Lasagna
I first came across lasagna from famous "Garfield" cartoon, "Garfield" loves lasagna and can eat 100's of them :). Well its nothing but layers of pasta and sauces stacked together. Here is how you can prepare your own lasagna. All the things you need for making your own 100% home made lasagna is available on my blog.
What you need:
Lasagna sauce/Red sauce
Bechamel sauce / White sauce
Lasagna sheets/pasta sheets
Grated Parmesan cheese / mozzarella cheese / any other cheese of your choice
salt, pepper
Method:
I prefer cooking lasagna sheets before using them whether they are fresh or store bought. This makes sure that lasagna sheets don't soak too much sauce. Boil about 1-2 ltr of water and add some salt. Please note that you must be careful while adding sauce as main sauce also has salt in it. Once water starts boiling start putting lasagna sheets in boiling water (one at a time). They should be cooked within 2-3 minutes, discard water and let all water dripped away, you can sprinkle little oil on lasagna sheets to prevent sticking.
Grease up baking tin/glassware, put thick layer of red sauce at bottom and spread evenly. Then put layer of pasta sheets. Make sure you cover up entire tin. Now put layer of red sauce and white sauce. Sprinkle generous amount of cheese to for a cheesy layer. Then put layer of pasta sheet, then again red and white sauce and so on. Make sure that your last layer is of red sauce, sprinkle cheese on top and your lasagna is ready for baking.
Cover tin with aluminium foil and bake for about 25 minutes in pre-heated oven on 180 degree Celsius. Remove foil and bake for another 5 minutes. Covering prevents cheese from becoming brown. Take out lasagna and let it cool for about 15 minutes. Cut out square portion and serve while its warm.
