delish, the best lasagne ive ever had apart from nettos cheap and cheerful own microwaveable one
no mst lasagne sheets have no precook required written on the box but some brands recommend soaking in hot water for 10 mins. i prefer to use the no precook personally
nice recipe, thanks!
i was wondering where do you put the white sauce in or is that the bechamel sauce?
im 15 and this was the simplest thing to make oter than shortbread
Try adding t spoon of english mustard when making the white sause, and for the Lasange mix, add a splash of red wine.
Try adding dried herbs (thyme, rosemary, basil & oregano) and for an extra special twist add some cinnamon really makes it AWESOME!!!
stupid recipe, fundamentally flawed, doesn;t mention the parmesan in the recipe initially. gives impression you only use one layer of meat, one layer of pasta and one layer of beschamel sauce. states prep time 20 mins cook time 60 mins. So how can you cook meat for an hour or until thick, then layer up, then bake for 45 mins in oven, and state cook time is 60 mins. When i went to school 60+45 =105 Remember some people out there cannot cook have no experience, if a novice followed this recipe for their partner. The relationship would last about 3 hours cos thats how long the dish would be late. Make recipes idiot proof. AAARRRGGGH
Bloody ridiculous printed it, 20 pages later as it printed all our stupid comments.
“cook for an hour” then later “bake for 45mins” and the cooking time is 60 mins……. I hope the quantities are correct…….
This is really a great lasagna recipe me and my wife will try to make something, like you did, next weekend. I hope it will turn out great. I will let you know.
Regards.
i think this is a really good lasanga recipe… as i made it for my family and they loved it!
i would definatly make this again 
As a complete novice to cooking, I entered ‘Simple Lasagne Recipe’ into Google and the No 1 search was this one
A suggestion:
Either A) Explain what ‘Verdi’ means
or
B) Advise to boil lasgane sheets
Merry Christmas

Yummyyyyyyyyy
