Answer 2

the meat sauce - cook chopped onions in a little oil and add whatever herbs or seasoning you like, add mince and brown then add a tin of chopped tomatoes or dolmio sauce. (you can add red wine or an oxo cube for extra flavour if you wish)

always put a layer of pasta on the bottom of the dish to stop the meat burning and sticking (handy for cleaning afterwards) try to use fresh lasagne pasta to make it that bit special - you will honestly taste the difference and this can be bought in most major supermarkets like sainsburys.

White sauce - i can never make my own right so just buy a packet or a jar. the packets are nicer though and make as directed.

layer it up: pasta, meat, white sauce etc etc but dont get your dish to full otherwise it will spew. Finish the top with the rest of the white sauce make sure you get all the edges.

Top with cheese and cook for 40-45 mins at 180degrees. The cheese can be added later if you don't want it to get too brown!

Serve with salad, coleslaw and garlic bread - yum yum yum

Answer 5

Well a pasta roller/machine would help - then you need about 250gms of OO grade flour and 2 eggs, mix this to make the dough, knead well and leave to stand for about 20 mins. Then start feeding it through the machine and making sheets (you need to fold it each time it comes through and run it at least 5 times on each setting (depending on the machine). Leave it to dry in sheets whilst you make the two sauces.

The meat sauce - go for lean mince. Cook onions and garlic in olive oil. Add the meat and brown it off. Then add good tomato sauce (or tinned tomatoes for ease, but drain off the juice to start with). Add in a mix of herbs - oregano, basil and most importantly nutmeg (grated) and season with salt & pepper. Cook for about 15 minutes, then add about 1/2 pt of beef stock (add the rest of the tomato juice, if you used tinned tomatoes). Cook for about another 15-20 minutes - although the longer you cook it the better the flavour. Whilst it cooks you need to make the bechamel sauce - melt butter and add self raising flour, make a thick paste and then gradually (very) add milk. Keep going until you have a thickish white sauce. Season with salt & pepper.

then just create the lasagne - layer of meat sauce, layer of pasta, layer of white sauce and repeat until you run out. Then sprinkle grated cheese all over and cook for about 25minutes. ( if you use dried pasta, then cook for about an extra 10).

Enjoy!

Answer 6

I would add a word of encouragement to make your own pasta, it is so easy and very satisfying. All you need is durum wheat semolina (ordinary plain white flour will do, but semolina is best) and eggs (you can substitute water and/or milk for some of the eggs). Make a smooth, elastic dough by thorough kneading, then roll pieces of the dough into thin flat sheets - for lasagne that's all you need. Dust your rolling pin and surface with semolina to prevent sticking. For details follow the link.
