My First Lasagne
I cooked this lasagne last night using this recipe on the BBC Good Food web site.
The verdict from my guests and myself.
1. I thought it tasted fine and my guests even ate some of it, with one having second helpings.
2. I made too much and got the timing wrong, as the recipe isn’t that precise.
3. I think it could also have done with more bechamel sauce.
4. I also left it in the oven too long, but that was more because I was having my hair cut at the same time. Not a good idea
5. The M&S pasta sheets may be a short cut, but they are easy to use and don’t taste any different to gluten-rich ones.
6. For lunch today, I had it cold. It was very good, tasting a bit like a meat and pasta cake.
7. I did add some tomato sauce and although not very correct, it was a better taste.
I’ll cook it again soon, but next time I’ll do half the quantity, which should give me enough for two portions. So I could share it with a guest or have one hot and one cold.

Lasagne was a party piece for me pre celiac diagnosis. A big lot of trouble for two tho. It is nice and easy to reheat in a microwave. Also easy to cut into individual chunks to freeze. I think yes more liquid needed in your recipe. The result should be more solid and cakelike but I am sure yours tasted just as good.

The recipe was one of those that tended to eat up saucepans and jugs and I don’t think it was well written. I’m going to make a half quantity next time, which would be ideal for two.
The taste was good, so it looks like the lasagne sheets from Marks are OK. Especially, as most shops seem to stock them.
