Lasagna

[vuzhia]

sisses na ginawa yung recipe ng tita ni sis u8mypinkcookies, anong ginamit nyong lasagna noodles? yung pinapakuluan pa or no-boil noodles?

kung yung pinakuluan ng lasagna noodles, talaga bang 1 hour sa oven? kase kung luto na yung noodles & luto na rin naman sauce bakit matagal talaga sa oven? baka maging soggy na, try ko kase gumawa sa Monday, holiday kase kaso yung La Germania oven namin, Hi at Low lang yung nasa knob for oven, pano ko kaya ma tantya yung temperature, hanapin ko rin users manual nung oven, 1st time ko gamitin   

[cheezecake]

^sis like what you said luto na lahat kaya no need na matagal sa oven. Actually you are melting the cheese lang naman sa oven. I would suggest that you use cook lasagna. I use Ideal Lasagna

[vuzhia]

^thanks sis, Ideal nga yung nakitang kong brand sa Rob Supermarket, yun ng bibilhin ko 

[vuzhia]

my tita uses this recipe..

* Meat Sauce
ground beef
red and green bell pepper
tomato sauce & tomato paste
salt & pepper
olive oil
garlic, onions
leftover ham, hotdogs, bacon
basil leaves

Saute beef in olive oil, onions and garlic, put everything in together & cook well.

* Bechamel Sauce
1/3 stick butter
1/3 flour
cream (half a carton)
milk (1 can evap)

Cook butter in low heat. Take out pan and dissolve flour in butter to even out the lumps. Once completely dissolved, cook flour by adding 1 can milk and mixing without let up in medium heat until it thickens. Once mixture has thickened, add some cream and the sauce is done.


Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread 1 cup of the sauce mixture onto bottom of 12x8-inch baking dish. Top with layers of lasagna noodles, remaining sauce mixture and bechamel sauce. Repeat all layers; sprinkle with shredded cheese. Cover tightly with foil & bake for 1 hour. Let stand 5 to 10 min. before cutting to serve.

(You can also use the tomato sauce and bechamel sauce mixture for baked mac. Instead of using lasagna noodles, you can just use macaroni.)

ay winner ang luto ko na recipe ng tita ni sis u8mypinkcookies, ahaha! like na like ni hubby, bigay ko lang detalye para makatulong sa mga 1st timer 

Ideal Lasagna ginamit ko, 12 pcs. - saktong sakto sya sa 14x10 baking dish ko, naka 3 layers ako - P98.00
1 kilo DM Spaghetti Sauce (Sweet style) - P78.50
1/4 ground beef - P50.00
Hotdog 3 pcs. lang ginamit ko (P25.00)
Magnolia Cheese Quickmelt - small (P69.00/2=P34.50) kalahati lang ginamit ko sa toppings
Alpine Milk - (P48.50)
Nestle Cream - (P44.00) feeling ko pwede ng ilahat nuong pack next time, may natira lang ako kaunti
Mozzarella Cheese - (P135.75/2=P67.87) half lang ginamit ko sa toppings, may nakita ako na para syang generic brand na naka pack ng maliit sa grocery
1/4 cup flour ginamit ko sa Bechamel Sauce

then yung iba wala ng price, kase puro available na sya sa kitchen ko, 20 minutes ko lang sya bake sa oven at tamang tama naman pagka melt ng cheese, feeling ko pwede rin talaga gawin to sa microwave, yun nga lang sa small container lang kase nga maliit lang microwave

mga narealize ko while cooking:

need ko ng bigger cooking pot para sa pag boil ng Lasagna, kase nagsiksikan sila sa pot ko, hindi naman pwede putulin kagaya ng spaghetti, hihi!

need ko rin ng oven thermometer kase hi & low lang setting nung  knob ng sa La Germania oven namin, hindi ko talaga alam kung ano ng temperature nya sa loob, kaya kung mag career ako sa pag bake need ko ng thermometer

^ wow! Yeeeeey! Nag-crave tuloy ako ng lasagna. haha!

[cind3r3lla]

I always refer to this thread kapag may occassions. Hahaha!
Merry Christmas mga sis!

[gypske]

sis yung milk na ginamit nyo big can or small one?

TIA!

[vuzhia]

^sis late na bang reply ko, 1 big can po ng Alpine ginagamit ko, gumawa ako ulit nito for New Year's Eve, naku mabenta! nagustuhan ng mga pinsan ni hubby! yey!

[gypske]

Thank you sis...

One big can din ginamit ko... and you're right, mabenta nga ang recipe ni sis u8mypinkcookies.

For those who want their lasagna to be meatier, I used 1/2 kl of ground beef and added 5 square slices of ham (chopped). Naubusan ako ng mozarella and parmesan sa rob and sm grocery na pinuntahan ko, so I opted to use 1 quickmelt and 1 eden cheese.

Next time I'll try this using macaroni...

Thanks again sis u8mypinkcookies!

I cooked 3 trays of lasagna last Christmas, mga pang 8-10 pax per tray ang serving... 1 for my parents & siblings, 1 for us and yung isa dapat sa tita ni hubby kaso di natuloy so dinala ko sa office after christmas.. sold out grabe! i used 3 types of cheese (cheddar, quick melt & parmesan) wala na kasi akong mabiling mozarella sa sm supermarket buti may uwing big block ng parmesan lola ni hubby from australia

[gypske]

sis sa last layer ng lasagna do you put filling pa ba or bechamel sauce and cheese na lang?

[u8mypinkcookies]

^ meat sauce then bechamel & cheese

[orangegirl]

I always make lasagna on our special occasions! For the white sauce, I only use Nestle Cream, Alpine tapos add some cheese, and instead of the usual spaghetti sauce, I use Hunt's or Del Monte's Four Cheese sauce. Basta just top with a lot of cheese para yummy! 

[plush]

i add cream cheese to my bechamel sauce mas nagiging yummy pa. also i prefer quickmelt than mozarella sa topping mas gusto ko kasi taste ng quickmelt.

the key to making sure the lasagna is perfectly formed, yung hindi nasisira when you slice and plate is to make sure konti lang ang water content ng meat sauce, so dapat malapot talaga siya versus your normal spaghetti na sauce. and sa bechamel i use alpine instead of full cream milk kasi mas mataas water content ng full cream.

[mikaelavhan]

Original recipe ng Nanay ko medyo binago ko lang. sabi nila kalasa ng Greenwhich Lasagna. Dati kasi di sweet style gamit ng Nanay ko.

For Red Sauce:
1 Del Monte Sweet Style Spaghetti Sauce
Ground beef
White Onion
Garlic
Salt and Pepper
Pamesan Cheese

For Bechamel Sauce:
1 can Campbell Cream of Mushroom
1 Nestle all purpose cream

Toppings:
Quickmelt Cheese

For Red sauce:
Saute Onion and Garlic
Add Ground Beef
Add Del Monte Sweet Style Spag Sauce
Add salt and pepper
Add Parmesan Cheese

For Bechamel Sauce:
In a pan mix Campbell Cream of Mushroom and Nestle All Purpose Cream.

Layer nyo lang sya, Pasta then Red Sauce muna then Bechamel tapos lagay nyo lang ng Quickmelt cheese. yung pinakataas don ako naglalagay ng madaming Quickmelt cheese. Bake for 10 to 15 mins or until mag golden brown yun cheese. ako binabantayan ko. Enjoy!

Pag nagluluto ako ng lasgna, pre-cooked pasta lagi gamit ko. para mas mabilis sa oven (sorry walang pasensya sa lasagna    ) Nakabukod din ang meat sa tomato sauce. Igigisa ko lang muna yung meat sa onion, garlic pos add ko lahat ng pedeng herbs and spice (thyme, parsley, oregano, basil or yung italian herbs) pos salt and pepper to taste. Yung tomato sauce ko, as is, straight from the can/jar or foil pack. Sa white sauce/bechamel, equal amount ng butter and flour, konting luto tapos add milk, eyeball nyo lang ang amount and mas ok kung warm milk para smooth talaga yung sauce, then add cheese (mixture of cheddar and parmesan) tapos nutmeg.

Pag assemble, eto arrangement ko

Tomato sauce
Pasta
Meat
Tomato sauce
Whitesauce
cheese
then repeat from pasta (mga 3layers lang)

baked sa preheated oven, 190-200C (depende sa oven),covered for 25 mins then 10 mins uncovered or hangang bubly and mejo brown na yung cheese.

*nakahiwalay yung meat ko sa tomato sauce kasi para macontrol ko yung meat & tomato sauce ratio, since pre cooked yung gamit ko. Tendency kasi pag napadami ang sauce, magiging soggy na yung lasagna.
