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 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes, thank you; I posted whilst reading.
There's no apostrophe in potatoes either, of course.......

Who serves potatoes with lasagne? And why would the potatoes be ready now, when dinner isn’t for hours?

Where are the leafy greens!

If you were going to have lasagne with boiled potatoes, you can have bolognese pasta bake with boiled potatoes. Were the potatoes going to be served cold if you have already boiled them?

You don’t need potatoes with pasta… obviously.

Should i pour the bechamel over the mash?

If you’ve got flour, an egg and a rolling pin then you can make the pasta quicker than you can get to the shop. Just have a quick look online for a recipe - it’s not hard.
Ignore any instructions to do it on the kitchen workbench (a bowl is less mess and the difference is negligible) or to use a pasta maker (you don’t need one for lasagne - just roll it flat).

The leafy green police are out.

Watch yourselves!

If you would eat potatoes as a side to lasagne, why can't you just eat them as a side to a pasta bake? It's the same thing, just a different shape pasta!

boil up some pasta, mix it with the bolognese top with cheese and slam in the oven! Pasta bake instead. Potatoes with lasagne though, not heard that before!

but you don’t have lasagna/pasta so the poster is suggesting you mash the potatoes to make a cottage pie.

I have done lasagne or canaloni with cooked pancakes. Think it was a recipe from that Italian chef carlucci or something simular. Cook a few and layer them in the dish like the pasta. Or thin slices of potato would also be good.

Then make a bolognese with cheese on top and spoon it onto the potatoes.

Unless you were contemplating using a single pasta sheet, it's "lasagne".

Yes, it does seem weird, but you're the one who's cooking potatoes to go with a lasagna in the first place!

oh goodness

I was making in advance as not feeling 100% and basically cba later and want to go to bed when Dh home

Agree with all of the above regarding using the potatoes and sauce to make a cheesy topping - yum! Then serve it to the family and call it "lasagna surprise"! 😁

If your family like potatoes with lasagne (weirdos 😆), why wouldn’t they like them with a pasta bake. Just mix the pasta with the cheese sauce (also cheese? In lasagne?) and layer it up like you would do the lasagne. Will taste almost identical.

If you were going to eat lasagne with potatoes, why can't you eat pasta bake with potatoes?

Leafy greens…? It’s not summer!

have fish cakes tomorrow, tin of tuna and your previously made mash

So apparently:

Mash and pasta = weird
Boiled potatoes and pasta = not weird

I'm so confused....

But I don’t want to waste them

People eat lasagna and chips all.the time.
