HOW TO MAKE LASAGNA:
Prepping pasta sheets:
- In a pot or vessel, pour some water and salt and till it’s hot but not boiling.
- Put pasta noodles in a vessel and pour hot water and let it soak for 30 mins.
- This technique works for me and gives me enough time to prep meat sauce and cheese sauce simultaneously with worrying about noodles.
Making the meat sauce:
- In a pan, add oil, mutton mince, onion and cook for 5 mins.
- Add pepper powder, chili flakes, oregano herbs, chopper garlic, salt and cook for 5 mins.
- Add store bought readymade marinara sauce and cook it more 5 more mins and the meat sauce is ready.
Making cheesy sauce
- In a pan, heat the butter, add all purpose flour and mix well.
- Add milk and mix till there are no lumps.
- Add pepper powder, salt, oregano herbs and chopped parsley.
- Add cream cheese and cooking cream and mix well
- Cook for 2 mins till the sauce is thick and creamy.
Assembeling the lasgana
- In a glass casserole Start with the meat sauce, so that the pasta does not get burn while baking. Spread it well in the bottom.
- Next, arrange the pasta sheets according to the size of the sheets you have got, (2 or 3). A layer of meat sauce, cheese sauce and top it with mozzarella cheese shreds.
- Repeat this step 4 more times.
- In the 4th layer, skip the meat sauce. This will give the lasagna a bit of a bite and a brown crust.
Baking process
- Cover the casserole with aluminum foil.
- Preheat the oven at 180 degrees and bake it for 25 mins.
- Remove the foil and bake at 250 degrees for 5 more mins. This will give the lasagna a brown top crust.

Notes:

- Don’t bake for too long.
- Lets it cool for 20-30 mins before cutting into it. it take a bit of time for the layers to set in.
