Made the lasagna without the lasagna

Pour the cheese sauce over it, top with crushed up crisps (cheese & onion if you have) and some grated cheese. Grill the top until it bubbles.

Why is there an onion in the milk??!! 😂

Save the potatoes for tomorrow

I always make lasagne with cheese sauce even though I know it's wrong. More cheese is always a good thing.

Loving the purists on here

Spuds and lasagna, what a meal! 🤤

@DappledThings I'm not saying I would do that, just making a suggestion re the grilling as some people may

OP i think you need to realise at no point today we're you ever making a lasagne.

You were making some cheesy pasta bake with a bland tomato mince and some potatoes.

Lasagne should have a proper ragu in- always start with onion, celery, carrot, good slow cook. Bechamel is no cheese, bit of nutmeg and an onion in the milk first. No one is expecting chips or garlic bread or potatoes as a side to lasagne unless they are in a spoons and trying tk soak up too much booze.

Turn what you've made into a potato bake- mince base, potatoes and bit crushed or chopped with cheese sauce on top. It'll taste good.

A potatasta bake if you will.

If I was in a mad rush I might pop the oven grill on for the last 5... but OP has been cooking since breakfast time... plenty long enough to brown a pasta bake.

Considering the cheese was already in her sauce the grilling would have been pointless.

Why would you do that? The cheese that is on top cooks while it is in the oven. No additional grilling required.

You had me agreeing till I read about ringing my mother. I would rather ring lucifer himself and ask his advice on this whole thing. Needless to say he would hang up on me and summon me down sooner than expected.

For those questioning the grilling, wouldn't that just be a quick blast under the grill to cook the cheese on top. Before cheese added on top the meal would have been cooked as normal in the oven.

Okay - if this is true then what was your plan for re-heating the cold mushy, fully boiled potatoes when the lasagne was finished?? As in, if you had lasagne sheets and everything went to plan.. when the lasagne was ready, if you weren’t going to mash these potato’s, what would you do? You’d have to heat them again somehow or would you just serve them cold?

Why is salad a big no in water but stone cold plain boiled tatties are fine??

Just cook some other pasta. Mix up with pasta sauce, sprinkle cheese over the top and it's a pasta bake. Very tasty it will be. No idea why you were doing potatoes but you could slice them up air fry, and substitute in layers for the pasta or mash and layer.

Now, now, that's not the spirit. You just need a positive mental attitude, a panful of dried out spuds, some contraband cheese and your mother on the blower.

I have salad most days for lunch, even when snow on the ground. Have hot meal in the evening.

@Brainfogtothemax I might have missed this, but why did you cook the potatoes so early on?

I mean…you said it!

Ah, I assumed green not allowed because the trees are currently not in green leaf. But white vegetables ok as they match the snow and sky. Seems about as logical as anything else OP has said

you did! you said pop cheese on top and grill it.

Also, I had salad for lunch... and it's snowing! hahahahahahah mind fuck.

They're good suggestions, all you have to do is boil the pasta and reheat the mince and sauce mix today. Nice and easy since you're not feeling well. I hope you feel better soon

Nooo it was not allowed as both white, as in the potato salad.

(But buttered boiled potatoes are fine because... addition of yellow substance? System unclear)

All i want now is lasagna and i even have the sheets. Sadly no matter what way I chop it, cut it or mash it the stew I have in the slow cooker cannot be turned into a lasagne 😭

But it as white as the fallen snow outside so must be acceptable in OP's rules
