This is my recipe for Lasagne.
First, proceed as per my Meat Pasta / Chicken pasta recipe but make the sauce slightly thicker with slightly less vegetables.
Then:
Cheese Sauce
Ingredients
- 60g butter
- 60g flour
- 300g grated Mozarella cheese
- 1 pint of milk
- nutmeg
- salt
- black pepper
Method
- Melt the butter in a pan, being careful not to burn
- add the flour, stiring constankcaltly
- cook for 30 seconds or so
- Gradually add the milk, stirring all the time.
- Continue heating and stiring until the sauce has fully thickened. Be careful of the heat, it can catch on the bottom of the pan and burn easily!
- Take off the heat
- Add the Mozzarella and stir in until melted – this produces a thick, rubbery sauce.
- Stir in nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste
