my lasagne recipe is good, but I think it can be better. I plan to spend all day tomorrow making one, so send me links to your recipes, or any tips.

also no completely weird ingredients, it needs to consist of standard stuff so i can walk down the high st and pick bits up.

cheers!
 
Blend in sun-dried tomatoes into the sauce mix, and cook it slooooowwwwllllyyyy. Ideally in a slow cooker if you have one. Plenty of fresh basil (not the dust out of a jar).

I make a low-fat(ish) one with cottage cheese. It is luvverly and saves making a bechemel sauce, though if you do use a dash of nutmeg in it.

Fresh pasta (if you can be arsed) or use the soft sheets that they sell. Not a fan of the dried ones.

Fresh pasta is pretty easy and tastes a whole lot better. I'm not allowed to clamp a pasta machine onto our new worktops. :sad:

The sauce should contain beef, pork, panettone and chopped chicken livers.....


Delia does a great recipe.

the missus is preggers so no chicken livers sadly. Will have a look at the Delia recipe though.
 
Recipe for the meat sauce, from the ex-wifes family, (who claim to have Italian links) delivers a really rich base sauce which I guess you could add anything to.

Packet beef mince (not the lean stuff for preference) I think they come in 500g usually
Sliced garlic clove or two.
Tin tomato puree
Tin chopped tomatoes, blended
Olive oil
Sugar
Salt

Saucepan on the stove, bit of olive oil and fry the beef off a bit. Add the garlic and all the tomatoes, plus fill the tin of tomato puree with water and add that too. Then about half a teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of sugar, combine it a bit then leave to cook for at least 3 hours on the lowest heat possible, stirring occasionally. You could easily add mushrooms, onion etc. Additional seasoning to taste.

Also, I would recommend making your own white sauce, which is really easy – top tip for that is to add a bay leaf or two to the mix when you’re cooking it.
 
I add Tabasco sauce, gravy granules and wine in mine while simmering and have had many a compliment.
