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 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is this your first day on earth or something?! You are pulling our legs, aren't you 🤣🤣🤣

But a lasagne is a pasta dish…?

So do pasta bake and potatoes!

Gosh the OP is tiresome but some of the responses from other posters are very funny. So thank you OP…in a way.

Same. It's quite well done but on the verge of being overdone. Like the potatoes.

They’re really soft, they’ll crumble, they’ve been boiled

Well yes...

@Brainfogtothemax You have very rigid ideas about this and are reluctant to take on some of the excellent suggestions on this thread.
I sense that these is something else going on.

Failing that, you will just have to go to the shop and buy some lasagne sheets.

I thought all schools went back today?

Just to be boring, but there are plenty of Italian dishes that use pasta and potatoes together.

I'm sure some can get the gist

Crumble you say? What about mince crumble and ice cream? You could even make your own ice cream with the CHEESE SAUCE. Delicious.

Genuine LOLs at this.

Not here, school is cancelled due to snow.

If you have a rolling pin and some spaghetti you could boil the spaghetti, then lay each piece tightly next to each other in lasagne sheet sized groups, press firmly with the rolling pin so they all stick together and hey presto - lasagne sheets!

Béchamel is a white sauce, sometimes called a roux. It’s flour, butter and milk, flavoured with a little nutmeg. I add a tiny bit of mustard to mine.

It‘s the base of a homemade cheese sauce, which you make by adding a hard, sharp grated cheese to (Cheddar works very well).

As we‘re debating terms, I‘d learnt that cottage pie and shepherd’s pie are nearly the same thing, but the former was made with beef mince and the latter with lamb mince.

Certainly not.

Drink it out of wine glasses as an a paira teef

Obviously.

But there’s a difference between a pasta dish and then potatoes on a plate and a slice of lasagna with a few potatoes on the side next to it, surely?! It just seems weird with the pasta dish. You also probably wouldn’t have a pasta dish with a plate of chips too, but a slice of lasagna with chips next to it is normal?!

Maybe, but so far you ain't making lasagne, sooo....

Pasta dish with potatoes or lasagne AKA a pasta dish with potatoes..... absolutely no difference at all.

Lasagne white sauce does not have cheese in it. What have you made?

It’s honestly not a wind up 🫣 my mums lasagna since childhood was always served with boiled potatoes with butter and bechamel sauce always had grated cheese in. Flabbergasted how this is so outrageous

Have you got any other type of pasta? I’ve done penne pasta mixed with bolognese, put it in a dish and pour the white sauce on the top and then add grated cheese. Then it’s a pasta bake.

Otherwise Tesco whoosh delivery?

Ooh, I'm thinking you could do this with conchiglie as well - boil til soft enough to carefully flatten with a rolling pin, and then put together like a weird pasta jigsaw puzzle to form lasagne sheets. Even better if you've got farfalle as I reckon they'll flatten to perfect little squares. Fusilli probably no good unless you're willing to individually untwist each one.

Only in your mind I think.
