Lasagne recipe?

Pooky

You could make some fresh sheets if you've got strong plain flour and eggs? 100gms flour mixed with one egg (a dash of water if required) mix into a dough and do the roll-fold-roll-fold thing a few times until its the right consistency. Then you can cut to size. (you'll need more than 1 lot of mix but the ratio is easy).

I have a pasta machine so do the stretching and rolling-folding in that and then roll to size with my rolling pin but with a little effort you can make do without the machine.

I second the wraps - make a fabulous lasagne.

There's no law that says you have to cook lasagna sheets with tomato and meat sasce: you can use any old pasta you like. If you use macaroni and throw some cinnamon in the meat sauce and nutmeg in the bechamel it instantly becomes the Greek dish Pastitsio. I'm sure there's a similar recipe suing spaghetti but I can't remember the name of it right now.

Part of the joy of cooking is adapting recipes to whatever it is you have at hand. If you've got kids just find up a fancy made-up name for what you're serving. It could make them feel very cosmopolitan

Ooh that sounds interesting do you layer the wraps or do you wrap the sauce on them?

I am another who would use flour tortillas or pancakes, but my lot like when I do my quickie pasta bake
Cook mince as for a bolognaise, boil fuselli for 5 mins and pour into the bolognaise and coat the fuselli well, make a cheese sauce and then combine with the pasta and sauce. Transfer to a casserole dish sprinkle with cheese and pop in the oven 180C for 20 mins. luverly jubly

pancakes work really well instead of pasta sheets, the thinner the better

I do a nice dish with bolognese on the bottom, topped with penne or fusili pasta which has been cooked and then mixed into a cheese sauce. Pour the cheesy pasta ontop of the bolognese and bake for 30 mins. Delish!
