What's for Dinner Tonight?

[Nikkit]

Thanks Maddy, will have to make that yummy bread soon, my lot will love it.

Tasty - tagine was "the best one ever" Hubby said. It was pretty good I must say. I love my tagine and use it alot over winter, fills the house with yummy smells. I put fresh beetroot in this one and it really made it nice - added sweetness without putting in the usual honey or dried fruits.

I should write down what I put in it before I forget so I can make it again!

Well tonigh (Halex and Fundj) I'm making lasagna with home made lasagna sheets (yes I said homemade)
I'm finally going to give it a try. I will make the dough this morning and roll it out this afternoon (I have a pack of dry lasagne sheets in the cupboard as back up )

you go girl   

[Halex]

Great to hear Dede, its easy just keep putting it through the machine until its thin enough.

Pasta dough is done. Is it ok to leave it in the fridge for a few hours till I'm ready to roll it?

[Halex]

Yes just wrap it up in glad wrap.

Well done, see how easy that was.

[dede]

Yes the dough was easy to make, no effort at all. Bet I don't say that when I actually start rolling

[fundj&e]

its very easy to roll for  lasange sheets dede, if u do have a problem rolling  it will only be beacuse the dough is to dry and it will fall apart 

[dede]

How thin do you usually go with lasagna sheets?
Was really easy to do. I feel like I have done something wrong cause it was so easy.

[mcmich]

Will you leave it hanging up until you use it dede? I don't think I would have anywhere to hang pasta. The dog would probably eat it.

[fundj&e]

its looks good dede, it was easy yes ? on my settings i go down to # 4

mcmich u can lay it flat on some floured T towels

[Halex]

Fantastic Dede, I roll until I think its thin enough.

I dont hang mine, it always cracks & goes brittle.

Shoud be swimming laps right ne   But at home

Ok I have now moved my sheets to clean tea towels.
Another question. In the lasagna recipe it says precooked lasagna sheets. What do I do now?
Do I cut them to size and drop them in boiling water before I make the lasagna up?

[Wonder]

You won't need to pre cook them dede because they are so fresh.

[Halex]

No need to precook  these sheets. I am assuming hou are putting the whole lasagna into the oven.

I do the same as Fundj.  Once rolled I keep under a towel to keep from drying out while I continue rolling the rest into sheets.  I find they are much easier to use/cut into shape/size when pliable.  

Unless of course you want to dry it out to store for future use.  I don't hang them as I prefer them flat.

I love making pasta and it does taste so much better than the bought stuff.
