Weirdest thing you've had in a lasagne?

[lasangya]

My DH wants me to put carrots in a lasagne. Yay or nay? What's the weirdest or nicest thing you've put in a lasagne?

I always put carrots and mushrooms in my lasagne, and a powdered stock cube for flavour.

I found a pineapple chunk in my dad's lasagna once.

He'd accidentally used a jar of sweet and sour instead of Dolmio sauce

My friend once made a stewed apple and cinnamon lasagne with custard for the top layer! It was actually quite nice but definitely weird.

Steamed veg, including cubed chunks of carrot
Don't mind grated carrot if mixed with mince

No that's just rank!!

I mean lentils are unusual.

Ham is common in Italian lasagne.

That sounds delicious!

100% carrots ! I like to grate mine . It adds very little difference in taste but packs in some extra nutrition ( plus my kids don’t notice 😛)

Hahahaha

Also half pork and half beef mince. Makes it richer.

OMG @MarxandMarzipan when I was in hospital having DS I had a veggie lasagne with halved sprouts in it. I think I'm triggered... Christ, that was 18 years ago and I still remember how foul it was.

The lentils are to bulk out the mince.

Ok I shall put grated carrot in it. I'm wondering about spinach.

This has the recipe for Sam Stern's lasagne. He does a great student cook book, very reliable recipes. I'd start with this and then mess about with it once you've made that.

I would personally add cheddar to the white sauce and red wine to the Bolognese sauce. I'd use 5% fat mince.

Tortillas instead of lasagne sheets - ace min!

Chicken instead of beef. I like chicken and I like lasagne, but never the twain…

That is revolting

Are they the chips? So like nachos? Or the wrap things?

Tuna and cheese lasagna was lush

@lasangya to add insult to injury (I was in for a week) they came round and told me i was 'bunged up'. You don't bloody say, you've fed me on boiled slop all week. Vom.

I put everything we have in it.

I do meat sometimes but mainly quorn as dd2 is veggie.

This weeks had onions, mushrooms, quorn, sweetcorn, pepper and courgette.

I put Milano salami in mine. No mince. Peppers as an vegetarian alternative.

Can I just defend the humble boiled egg for a moment? My friend worked with Italians and was taught to make lasagne 'properly' which includs chopped boiled egg between the pasta and white sauce.

It is the nicest lasagne ever!

Turkey mince lasagne was absolutely awful.

Carrots, in a veggie lasagne in a place in Amsterdam. Not just 'carrots' but big thick chunks of them. About an inch thick.

I used to buy a scummy chicken and bacon lasagne from M and S. They then of course stopped making it so I now make my own...
When I was working in the school kitchen they used to serve Baked Bean lasagne!!
