PROJECT 5.1
As a continuation of my batch cooking, and my introduction to pasta making, I decided to batch bake lasagne, to make life easier for Holiday Boy, while I am at work.
So I started by cooking my veggies, which were onions, green and red peppers, garlic and sun dried tomatoes, in a little olive oil. To this I added Italian seasoning and allowed it to cook until the onions became clear. When the veggies were ready I fried off my mincemeat, and then returned the veggies. I finished it all off with tomato passata.
I made lasagne sheets and layered the mince and lasagne with a home made white sauce, which was made from butter, flour, warm milk and seasoning. On the final layer I placed extra mature chedder cheese.
I popped it into the oven until golden brown........looks good enough to eat.....In the background is L's veggie pie to be finished later.
When the lasagne cooled I portioned it up into 8 delish portions, ready for the freezer and I look forward to eating this lovely creation for my evening meal, with a lovely side salad mmmmmm....
I'm surprised this hasn't been tasted yet as you have been drooling over it since it came out the oven, good job! :)
