Make sure you drain off the fat from the mince when browning it, it definitely helps the flavour!

Well it's about to go into the oven - all worked out well so far!

Keep fingers crossed and thanks for all your posts!

Hi Skint_Catt,

I hope it works well. Now that you've made yours I've merged your thread with another one on making lasagne to keep all the replies together.

Ah sorry pink-winged - I did do a chat forum search but nothing came up!

Well, it was a HUGE success - everyone ate it and it turned out looking like lasagne.

Thanks again to everyone!

I can recommend one not to try, Gary Rhodes..

His lasagne is lovely, but firstly the mince needs to be browned off, then you add a pint of wine, and cook down until the liquid has all gone, then you add a pint of milk and cook that down until all the liquid is gone. This takes about two hours, but the flavour is delicious. (Not necessarily worth the extra cost of ingredients though I don't think);)

Hummm I made one recently using wine. I only used about a glass or so, and although it smelt fantastic, I thought it gave an overpowering taste. Maybe the milk helps with that? Next time I'll just use a couple of splashes I think.

Last lasagne I made I used Tesco's passata with basil in the bolognese sauce and it turned out absolutely delicious. Made a big difference to the flavour. It tasted very Italian.

My tips would be:

- Add teaspoon of brown or normal sugal
- Add squirt of ketchup
- Add splash of wine

I find these always make bolognaise / chilli or lasagne taste amazing.

If you have leftover wine one night that won't keep until your next spag bol/ lasange etc - simply freeze it in an ice cube tray - then pop an ice cube or two into the sauce in the pan next time you are cooking. I learnt this on MSE and it's been great! If I could get round do it, I would chop garlic in advance and pop them into ice cube trays too - very organised and would be so useful!

Hi

When I usually(rarely) make lasagne I tend to only put the mince and the sauce in it.
can you put veg in it?
What does everyone else put in??
