Tried during the weekends but didn't went quite well. Well guess its my first time and was too excited. But my little one enjoyed messing up the place and seeing the frown on mummy's face. Well whether we made a great lasagna but definately myself and my little girl had plenty of fun. Will try the recipes again. Well i did promise my little girl a perfect tasty lasagna. Thanks for ur feedback guys.

Glad to see that you had fun with your dd. Don't worry about how it looks. It's the process that's more important. And taste good too

Easy to prepare:


- Buy bottled spaghetti sauce
- Lightly fry chopped large onions, minced meat (you can use any meat you like), chopped vegetables (carrots, celery, etc)
- Add in the spaghetti sauce. Do not dilute unless you bought concentrated sauce. Let it simmer until vegetables are soft.
- In an aluminium/glass tray (must be suitabe for baking), spread a thin layer of your sauce at the bottom, place a lasagna sheet, spread another layer, place a lasagna sheet, and carry on until you filled the tray. The top layer should be SAUCE. Sprinkle with cheese (I normally use a mixture of parmesan & mozarella but it's up to you).
- Bake in the oven until cheese turns light brown.

There's another version using white sauce instead of the tomato sauce that you can get easily from supermarkets.

WHAT Brand of Lasagne is good? I see a few brands in the mkt.

Okie, so I made Lasagna for dinner today.


I used the San Remo brand lasagna sheets and followed the instructions at the back of the box. However, I added chopped celery and aubergines as well as dried oregano in addition to what was required in the recipe.

Instructions says that you must cover the sheets thoroughly with the sauce in order for it to be cooked before baking. This is to be taken seriously cuz the first time I tried it, I did not pay close attention to this aspect and some parts of the sheets turned out hard and crispy :oops: :oops:

This time was much better. However, I still need to master the art of slicing it more neatly.

BTW, I ran out of cheddar/mozerella cheese and used parmesan cheese instead. The 1st two are much much better in terms of taste and texture.
