Meat Sauce Mixed.

White Cheese Mixed.
- Pour 2 cups milk in a saucepan..heat up slowly...add in the Bechamel sauce powder..use a whisk to mix them
- If you see steam from the mixture..add in the Ricotta cheese..whisk well to mix..
- Put the 2 eggs and whisked again..
- Add the parsley...salt and pepper to taste...
- Cooked until thick but can still drop from a spoon nicely..add milk or water if too thick...you want to spread this easily so it cannot be too thick...
Putting it together..
- Take either a metal pan or any oven ware....3 to 4 sheets of the lasagna can fit lengthwise.
- Take a few scoop of the meat sauce and layer it at the bottom of pan...
- Arrange the lasagna pieces over the meat sauce..put them close but not overlap..press it a bit
- Put another layer of meat sauce over the lasagna sheets....
- Now put the white sauce layer almost equal amount to cover the meat sauce...it doesn't have to cover the whole layer....
- Sprinkle some mozarella cheese and Parmesan cheese...
- Repeat lasagna -->meat sauce-->white sauce--> cheese 2x
- Top most layer additional Parmesan and Mozarella..cover the entire surface.
- Put an aluminum foil over the last cheese layer but not to touch it..
- Baked in a preheated 375/180 oven..covered for about 45 mins....remove cover and heat another 30mins till the cheese slightly brown...
- Take it out of oven...let it cool and ready to serve....
- left overs can be frozen....and reheated later on in a microwave...
I sometimes add sprinkles of dry chillies in the meat sauce to spice it up coz I don't like it sourish...
p/s..Thanks to Dali for the original recipe....who cooked the meat sauce from scratch...and thanks to Aida for variation of the white cheese sauce...
