My first attempt at lasagna



Last night I tempted in making my first lasagna for my digs. After seeing my mum and maid make them since I can remember, I thought it was about time I made one. I thought I would be a master.. how hard can it be? However, an hour and 40 minutes later we only ate!






To warn those of you who haven't yet made a lasagna, these are the silly mistakes to avoid:

1. Read the label of the lasagna sheets box to check if the pasta needs pre-cooking or not. After getting my digs mates to help take the cooked pasta apart and pick at the semi-edible ones, I realized something terrible has gone wrong!

2. Know how to boil spinach properly. I embarrassingly had to phone my mum to double check. Also, don't forget to cut the middle stems.

3. Make sure you make enough cheese sauce so that the lasagna is creamy. The sauce mustn't be too thick.

Otherwise it was delicious and a real home-made meal. I got raving reviews from my personal audience, besides my silly mistakes. Next time, I'll cut my preparation time in half!







Happy food. Happy photos. Happy life.
