Lasagne Recipe – First Try with Great Results
I’ve never tried making lasagne before and had an urge to try it out. I didn’t realize just how long it takes to make, so I was very thankful it turned out to be delicious!
I don’t really like to follow recipes in every detail, so I just winged it.
Ingredients:
- 1 large can of diced tomatoes (700-800ml)
- lasagne pasta (I used 9)
- 500g minced chicken
- 2 eggs
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 carrots (diced)
- 6 large white button mushrooms (large chunks)
- 1.5 cups spinach (cut into large slices)
- 2-3 cups shredded marble cheese (it’s all we had at home)
- Olive oil
- Salt and Pepper
- Hot pepper flakes
- Dried Oregano and Basil
- White wine (optional)
Procedure:
- Heat a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, onions then garlic. Cook until onions are translucent.
- Add minced chicken, herbs and spices with a bit of white wine into the pot and stir until cooked through.
- Add the vegetables and canned tomatoes.
- Reduce heat and let simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Cook pasta for approximately 6-8 minutes, making sure it’s al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Once the sauce is finished simmering, add a layer to the bottom of the baking dish.
- Add a layer of the pasta.
- Add a layer of meat/vegetable sauce.
- Add a layer of cheese.
- Another layer of pasta….and continue until you’ve run out of space.
- Finish off the top with a layer of shredded cheese and whisked egg to seal everything nicely.
- Bake at 350°F for approximately 45 minutes or until the top is a nice golden colour.
This is the end result for me:
I hope you can enjoy a yummy lasagne dish as well!
