Takes ages to cook but is Delicious
Mine! I don't really have a recipe though....the secret is to use sausage instead of hamburger...so much better!
Go down to tesco and buy one.
Mine but it's a secret!!
I don't know- sorry. But when my mom makes lazagna she makes it with this great spinach (usually frozen tablets) and lots of cheese. Since we're vegetarions,we just add tomato concentrate and other stuff besides meat. Hope that helped you make a delicious lazagna!
The way I make it is pretty good, I follow the basic recipe, but then I will add additional things just to spice it up and everyone that I know loves my lasagna
Mexican Lasagna
Cooking spray
12 ounces cooked chicken, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 3 cups)
1 cup sour cream (regular or low-fat)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (regular or low-fat), divided
1 cup shredded Cheddar (regular or low-fat), divided
1/2 cup mild, medium or hot salsa
1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chiles
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon ground chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas, cut into 6 wedges
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Coat an 11 by 7-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine chicken, sour cream, 3/4 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese, 3/4 cup of the Cheddar, salsa, chiles, cilantro, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Arrange half of the tortilla pieces in the bottom of prepared pan, overlapping pieces slightly to cover the surface. Top with half of the chicken mixture and smooth over with the back of a spoon to even the top. Layer remaining tortillas over top, and spoon over remaining chicken mixture. Top with remaining 1/4 cup each of Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses.
Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 30 more minutes, until top is golden and bubbly. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
To reheat, bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 15 minutes.
I don't know about the best recipe for it. I just usually do off the back of the lasagne box and add a few sepecial touches of my own. but it's actually better if you cook it the night before and stick it covered in the fridge over night and heat it in the oven the next day. Gives everything a chance to mix better.
Although that mexican lasagne sounds really nice!

Ingredients
1lb of ground beef
Half a white onion
A quarter of a red onion
3-4 cloves fresh garlic
24oz of tomato sauce
9 strips of uncooked Lasagne pasta
1 teaspoon of basil
1 tablespoon of oregano
* Salt and pepper to taste
* 1 pack of Mozzarella cheese, grated
* 2 eggs
12oz of Ricotta cheese
A quarter cup of grated Parmesan cheese
Method
1.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C, Gas Mark 4).
2.
Dice up all the onions and garlic, and sauté in a large saucepan (a big cast-iron skillet works well) for a few minutes, then crumble in the ground beef. Brown the beef/onion mixture, adding basil and oregano. When ground beef is well browned, drain off any excess grease, add the tomato sauce, and simmer, adding salt and pepper to taste.
3.
While the sauce is simmering, in a bowl, mix the Ricotta cheese, the two whole eggs, and the Parmesan cheese all together, stirring well. Take a baking dish (preferably close in size to 13" x 9", or 12" x 7") and brush lightly with oil (this makes clean-up easier!). Cover bottom of baking dish thinly with tomato/meat sauce. Cover this with uncooked lasagne - should be three pieces lengthwise. On top of the Lasagna add more meat sauce, and a layer of the Ricotta cheese mixture. Sprinkle grated Mozzarella cheese over this. Lay another layer of pasta and repeat layering. On top of the second layer add Lasagne, what is left of the meat sauce, and the remainder of the Mozzarella. Cover the dish with baking foil, and bake for 30-40 minutes, until brown and bubbling.
World's Best Lasagna
INGREDIENTS
* 1 pound sweet Italian sausage
* 3/4 pound lean ground beef
* 1/2 cup minced onion
* 2 cloves garlic, crushed
* 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
* 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
* 2 (6.5 ounce) cans canned tomato sauce
* 1/2 cup water
* 2 tablespoons white sugar
* 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
* 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
* 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
* 1 tablespoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
* 12 lasagna noodles
* 16 ounces ricotta cheese
* 1 egg
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 3/4 pound mozzarella cheese, sliced
* 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS
1. In a Dutch oven, cook sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until well browned. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Season with sugar, basil, fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Simmer, covered, for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4. To assemble, spread 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange 6 noodles lengthwise over meat sauce. Spread with one half of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with a third of mozzarella cheese slices. Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, and top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil: to prevent sticking, either spray foil with cooking spray, or make sure the foil does not touch the cheese.
5. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
Wine Tip
Try with an Italian red like Barbera or Chianti Classico.
mine LOL
I'M ITALIAN!
and I'm really sorry for some of the people who have written you but....some recipes are false!
I'm copying you a link with a good web-site where you can find everything you need to know about Italian Cooking
http://www.theitaliantaste.com/italian-c...
in particular you'll find the lasagne recipes in the "baked pasta section" and there you'll find 3 ways of cooking theme...Obviously the traditional one is the "bolognese" but the vegetarian one is very good too!
Kisses..........byeeeeeeeeee^_...
the best lasagna is not made with ricotta cheese or anything like that, for a pure Italian "pasticcio" (lasagna) here it is:
meat sauce
bechamel sauce
shredded cheese
lasagna pasta
combine these into layers. The last layer just put the pasta, the bechamel sauce and cheese. Bake covered in foil for about 1 hour, then take the foil off and broil until the top is brown.
yummy!!!
Dolmio baby!
