Lasagna

Lasagna...although I am not a big fan of Italian food..my other half is..he has been craving lasagna for while...and one day he got home all the ingredients for it ...for me to cook..lol..I asked my best friends as to how they cook it (cuz they are best at it)...and collaborated with some of my own ingredients. You can make lasagna any way you want...plain and simple sauce and meat...or add some veggies...or add some rich cheese...endless possibilities..but here is how I did it.

Ingredients required:

1 pound lean ground beef

10-12 mushrooms, chopped

1 green pepper chopped

1 tomato chopped

salt to taste

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 tsp red chilli powder

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

1/2 tsp dried basil 

1 can/ jar of tomato puree (any brand)..I used Classico Oyester Mushroom

1 cup water

Oil

Take a pan ....put a little bit of oil and add the beef, ground black pepper, red chilli powder, red pepper flakes and mix it together...once water begins to release...add in tomatoes, green pepper, mushroom, dried basil and salt...mix well...then add the tomato puree and water and let it cook for 40 mins to an hour....make sure it doesnt dry up....turn it off when the sauce thickens.

For cheese:

2 egg, beaten

1 container of ricotta cheese (2lb)

1 pack of mozzarella cheese, shredded (8oz)

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

big pinch of red chilli powder or cayenne powder

Mix them to a thick clumpsy batter

The rest:

1 packet of lasagna noodles

mozzarella cheese, shredded or parmesan cheese to spread on top

Once your noodles boiled...take a tray and then layer your meat sauce...then your cheese batter...and then your noodles....repeat it again...and then the last layer would be just meat sauce..and sprinkled shredded cheese and some dried basil...inshort ...layer 3x meat sauce...2x cheese batter...2x noodles.
