Sounds good to me. What sort of veg are you thinking of using?

I was thinking of slicing some peppers, mushrooms, onions.

Are you gonna cook the veg in the bolognaise sauce first? You could do that while making the white sauce.Nikki

I could do that Nikki, would it be OK to freeze once it cooled down?

Sounds yummy. Was just checking because if you were gonna do root veg they would need to be cooked for a while first.

Yes you can freeze it. If you put the lasagne in the fridge overnight (once cooled) it is easier to cut into portions and you can then freeze the portions individually. You can line the dish with foil to make it easier to lift out too HTH

Nikki, Do I line the dish prior to putting the ingredients in?

:doh: yes

Don't use too much flour when making your roux. I use 1 1/2 tbsp butter/marge and 1 tbsp flour which I cook off for a minute first before adding the milk.

And if you've wrapped your portions in foil to freeze them, don't defrost them in the microwave still wrapped in foil! :rotfl:

Hi, Quicky about breadmaking:

I have a Morphy Richards Fastbake breadmaker. Is it possible to make bread with ordinary plain flour rather than strong flour?

Many thanks.

Pink.

Hi Flitty,

I know some people do use just plain flour for breadmaking and say it works but I normally use half strong bread flour and half plain flour in my MR breadmaker.

Do you alter the amount of yeast or sugar

Pink.

Hi Sandy,

No I just follow the basic recipe. Changing half of the flour to plain and adding some seeds is the only difference.
