Homemade lasagna.

Is it one of the best inventions known to man?
Just stood in the kitchen with my lovely meaty, tomatoey sauce in one pan and the cheesy loveliness in the other. One of the best best is getting a spoonful of the mincemeat and topping it with the cheese sauce and just eating it off the spoon, whilst you’re stood over it, cooking it all. It has to be a very tomatoey, cheesy, thick lasagna, also extra nice, if left and eaten later in the evening or the next morning,

Anyway, sorry, just a homemade lasagna appreciation post.

My tongue is now burnt from my greediness and inability to wait for it to cook

You are spot on OP. It's the bees knees is a homemade lasagna. A labour of love but always my favourite tea.

God I want lasagna now

It’s OK but I prefer the frozen ones from Iceland.

Breadcat24 · 29/05/2024 17:02

Do not eat it off the spoon unless you are washing it thoroughly in between you double dipping minger!
Otherwise perfectly correct!

@Breadcat24 Ohh you mean the cheese sauce goes into the mince pan and vice versa? Yes, you def have to watch out for that

Served with boiled potatoes (controversial perhaps) dripping in melted butter

Much better the next day.
Frozen ones from Iceland are dreadful

If this is true, you’re making lasagna wrong

Love a homemade lasagne so long it's homemade by someone else! Too much faff and washing up to do it myself!

BoobyDazzler · 29/05/2024 17:16

Home made lasagne is the best but it’s a proper faff and very time consuming to make well from scratch so I normally just buy one from Tesco and it’s almost as good.

What’s up with the potatoes….😂

I haven't made lasagne for decades - too much like hard work.

I remember it used to bubble over and drip all over the oven - it never occurred to me to use a bigger dish Grin

mitogoshi · 29/05/2024 17:21

You are right!

It's like having boiled potatoes with fish & chips! Grin But maybe you do that also!

fieldsofbutterflies · 29/05/2024 17:22

Lasagna is way too much faff.

Churchview · 29/05/2024 17:23

Very definitely the best thing ever.
The burnt to the side of the dish bits afterwards!

heathspeedwell · 29/05/2024 17:23

I have it with baked potatoes. May as well make the most of having the oven on for an hour!

bridgetreilly · 29/05/2024 17:24

It is the best. Bought lasagne is never anywhere near as good.
