Lasagne......why milk?

Slinky

Reading all this, I think I'm going to have to make lasagne this weekend now. I've never added milk but might have a go!

Hi there

I am making a lasagne today & have the mince on simmering away - I usually add milk to this as it gives a yummy creamy sauce but the sauce looks horrid having had the milk added - any ideas what I can do? do i leave it to cook out?

It will cook out and won't look creamy after awhile. The 1st time I did it I thought I had ruined it but it does change back in colour.

I am presuming you have already added the tomato paste and tomato's ?

You should simmer your mince in a little water first then pour off the grease, if you haven't done this then that's why it looks yucky. Try adding more water, simmer for a while then strain it off, if you want a nice creamy gravy try adding a spoonful of oats after adding the gravy.

Hi boredjellybean,

I've added your thread to the current one on adding milk to mince when making lasagne to keep the replies together.

thanks - I have tried simmering for longer & adding water but it still looks grainy?
