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 🤷🏻‍♀️

It makes a surprising difference to the taste, I didn't expect much either the first time but now love when I have time to let the milk infuse.

Mumsnet AI just suggested this thread to me - lasagne could be a whole chat room

Just grilling/melting the top part

But it’s already melted in the oven. It doesn’t need grilled.

This must be a wind up. Who puts potatoes in a lasagna 😂😂

Oh, my husband swears by lasagne with chips. He used to have it for lunch in a tiny cabin cafe near his work and is still devastated that the cafe was removed in a shake-up of the general area.

I unreservedly support all forms of double-carbing. Absolutely love a boiled potato in butter, haven't had one for years but my mum was obsessed with them and now I wonder why it's been so long.

But why if the lasagne has already been baked in the oven?

just use pasta. Its a bolognese bake. One of my fave micro ready meals.

Not mixed in, sort of drizzled over

I’m sorry, @Brainfogtothemax , but eating potatoes as a side dish for a pasta dish is extremely weird to me - much like eating curry with rice, and chips on the side, which used to be a favourite dish of the males in the engineering faculty when I was a student.
I’d suggest you don’t use any pasta and make a cottage pie with the mashed potatoes and use the sauce for vegetables in a cheese sauce to have as a side dish, since you aren’t having a leafy green salad

I'm a bit confused about why you would have potatoes with lasagna.
But as you have just use them like you would lasagna sheets.
It will be delicious

And yet it's had so many cooking tips.

Just use another type of pasta instead of lasagne and layer as you usually would. You may wish to parboil that pasta if it's a thick sort that would have a longer cooking time.

Pop the potatoes in the fridge for tomorrow. They'll be lovely sliced and sautéed. Or roasted.

Or do a cottage pie with a side of veggies in cheese sauce as suggested above. Sounds perfect on a cold day.

Just wanted it done as knew would be tired later on to cook the whole thing, so made in advance, it seemed like a legit plan at the time, until it all went tits up!

But how did you plan to heat the potatoes up? Because you didn’t know how to do that!

A lasagna is a pasta dish though! I dont see the difference. Lasagna sheets are just pasta in a different shape.
And I don't think it's normal to have lasagna and chips either

I had my doubts up to this point but now you have jumped the shark, as the they say.

I don’t own a microwave. Waste of counter space in a small kitchen. Whats odd about that? You don’t really need a microwave to cook.

Would pickled onion monster munch work? Asking for a friend.

Of course it can

You just get lasagne sheets.

Throw them in the bin

Boil up some potatoes but dont add any butter or milk

Do add an apostrophe.

About 5 hours later, assemble the stew, potatoes, cheese sauce under the grill

Fine cooking.

Just found Philadelphia, should I chuck that in with the mash?

Sure, why not?
