i owe a few readers yang asking for the recipe... uh uhhhh... i'm not an expert at cooking, so frens if you guys wonder how i make the lasagna, this is my way(cheeky way) of making lasagna. kalau boleh semua pun nak pakai instant... hehe

White Cheese Sauce
3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp wheat flour
2 cups low fat milk
1/2 cubed chicken stock
¾ cup chopped cheddar cheese
2 tsp dried mix herbs (oregano, basil, rosemary – McCormick’s)
or 2 tsp chopped oregano
1/2 tsp white pepper powder
1 tsp salt

Melt butter under medium heat, add in flour and let it simmer for about 2 mins. Pour in low fat milk, add cubed chicken stock, let it simmer for 6 mins until the mixture thickens. Quickly add cheese, mix herbs, pepper and salt. Mix well until cheese dissolved. Let cool.

Spaghetti Sauce
300gms mince meat/chicken
2 cups diced carrot
1 red onion - chopped
1/2 cup celery stick - finely sliced
2 ripe tomatoes diced
4 tbsp tomato paste (can be subsitute with puree)
1 sprig rosemary
1 cubed beef stock/broth
3 tbsp olive oil/cooking oil
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt (less is better)

In a medium pot, heat olive oil/cooking oil. Sautee carrot & onion until carrot half cooked. Add mince meat and diced tomatoes. Let the mince meat cooked for about 5 mins until its juices runs clear. Pour in the tomato paste/puree, mix well until the mixture simmer. Add in cubed beef stock/broth and 1.5litre water and rosemary sprig and salt & sugar. Let it simmer under medium heat until the sauce thickens.

Preparing the Lasagna
1 box of instant lasagna sheet (large or half size)
½ cup of shredded cheese (mozzarella)
white cheese sauce
spaghetti sauce

Lightly glazed the baking foil with margarine. Pour one layer of spaghetti sauce, place one layer of lasagna sheets, continue with one layer of spaghetti sauce, 3 tbsp of cheese sauce and lasagna sheets. Repeat the whole process until you finish making 43 layers. The top layer must be covered with cheese sauce only, make sure it is enough to cover the whole lasagna sheets. Tossed with shredded cheese.

Ready to bake in the oven under 180ยบ for 35-40mins.


Kalau tak pakai instant sheets lagi sedap... rasanya lah...hehe. Preparation time: ntah agak2 dalam 1 1/2 hr kot? Nasib ada bibik, ada jugak orang nak kemas dapur...heheh ;)
