Quick Easy Lasagna on a Sunday


Pretty easy lasagna

First of all you must remember it is the two sauces that makes lasagna. What sauces am I talking about? Well, it is what i call the red sauce and the white sauce.



Red sauce

What I meant by red sauce is the spaghetti sauce. Refer to my previous post on the ingredients and how to make one. http://fadzarahim.blogspot.my/2016/11/spaghetti-napolita-is-japanese.html



This is the white sauce

The white sauce is the creamy sauce where you start with melting butter in a saucepan. Stir flour (about 5 tablespoon) in the saucepan. Stir well and you have to watch out that the flour doesn't turn into lumps. Cook for 2 minutes over gentle heat. Remove from heat and stir in milk (I used  one tin of IDEAL Evaporated milk) and added water (use the same tin measurement from the IDEAL milk). 

Gordon Ramsay pours the milk three times. Every one third, he will stir and remove from heat if it starts to thicken and goes back to the heat.

So, return your saucepan to heat and keep stirring until the mixture is thick and smooth. Season the mixture with salt and pepper and add mozarella or cheddar cheese. My friend would add in the cheddar cheese slices (5 slices). Stir over low heat until cheese melt. 

The brown lumps you see in the picture is because I didn't keep stirring.



Start layering the sauces

Once the sauces are ready, prepare a baking tin. Pour in the red sauce first, Then layer it with lasagna. I used San Remo's Instant Lasagna.


Make sure the lasagna covers your red sauce. Then, pour in your white sauce.



Layer the white sauce with lasagna. Just make sure there is enough sauce to cover the layers.


Keep layering the sauces and lasagna until the white sauce is on top. Then, sprinkle a generous amount of cheese (mozarella or cheddar)



I POURED cheddar cheese


Before you bake, heat the oven at 180 degree for 40 minutes. Then, bake for 40 minutes.



Easy peasy lemon squeezy, your lasagne is ready


Try it out on a Sunday and let me know how yours turn out.
