Made the lasagna without the lasagna

[Brainfogtothemax]

What to do?

Just prepped for dinner, did all the mince with tomatoes, onion etc and made the cheese sauce, boiled some potatoes and went to get the lasagna sheets and don’t have any.
Not feeling 100% so cba going to the shops, how can I make it into a proper meal? I have some pasta I could use instead, but what about the potatoes? Save them for tomorrow 🤷🏻‍♀️

Use layers of sliced potatoes and call it moussaka

as a child my dm always used to make bolognaise, sliced potatoes where the lasagne sheet would go
its very nice

You could thinly slice and roast potatoes as a layer or two?

I’m sorry what are the potatoes for? Just make the lasagne into a pasta bake?

What are the potatoes for?

Potatoes? I thought that you were making lasagne?

What were you going to do with the potatoes?!

Just use whatever pasta you have and top it with cheese sauce.

But no potatoes.

I don’t normally associate potatoes with lasagne but yes - slice the potatoes and use instead of the lasagne or use some normal pasta and do a pasta bake.

Potatoes in a lasagna?

What do you mean potato’s? Are they just a side dish? If so do a pasta bake and keep the potato’s as a side dish

So confused where the potatoes have come from? Just add pasta and cheese and it’s a pasta bake

Pastitsio? Greek Lasagne. You can use the other pasta you have.

Also confused about where the potatoes come in to a lasagne recipe?

I’m glad I’m not the only one confused about the potatoes!

Potatoes in lasagne, wtf?

Also interested what the potatoes were for 😂

I would just turn it into a shepherd's pie :)

Just use the pasta! Either in layers, or I would just mix it up with the red sauce and dump the cheese sauce over the top then bake.

I need to know why you’ve boiled potatoes when making lasagne?

Potatoes or cabbage leaves

Call it what you like, it doesnt matter, its meat layered in between carbs and very nice it would be either way (or cabbage if you're not using the carbs)

People are so rigid

It would blow peoples minds to know that in parts of Spain they make paella with pasta.

We used to always have potatoes on the side with lasagne growing up. Now I do chips instead, thought that was fairly normal. Can never have too many carbs! But yes in this case I'd do as others have suggested and either turn into pasta bake and leave the potatoes for another day (or make a potato salad side dish?), or use layers of potatoes in place of the lasagne.

Why is this in AIBU anyway?

Im so rigid!!!

Here for the potatoes explanation

I’d use a layer of whatever other kind of pasta you have OP in place of the lasagne sheets - it might need a few minutes pre cooking depending on what type it is.

Orrrr if you have an aubergine you could use slices of that but it’ll need pre cooking

Just use pasta.

Also here for the potatoes 😂

She was obviously planning to use lasagna as the ‘layer’ though!

The potatoes were to go with the lasagna, my family like some buttery boiled potatoes with it

I don’t think I can slice the potatoes-too soft 😬
