HI Edith,
ReplyDeleteDo you have the recipe to this?
I would definitely love to try a lasagna with white sauce...
I love reading your blog too..I envy your hubby & kids...
Hope my hubby & son will be as happy whenever I cook for them.
Hi, I have inserted the recipe (taken from San Remo Instant Lasagna)
ReplyDeleteGrace, try this, really very nice.
Edith, ur lasagne looks great! I used "instant"lasagne once in the past. But it wasnt really cooked thru at the end of cooking. Do we have to cover the lasagne dish b4 putting into the oven with foil? Instant means no need to pre-cook, right? Just put the uncooked lasagne sheets straight into the baking dish n assemble with the sauce? Hope u can advise. Thks!
ReplyDeleteHi IC, you don't have to precooked the lasagne or cover it. Just follow the instruction you will be fine. I believe some of the readers have tested it and they like it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck.
