Uni that Lasagna looks amazing Any chance of the recipe

[judydawn]

I was thinking how meaty it looked Uni - I have an Italian neighbour who puts lots of layers of pasta but very little sauce in between.  Us Aussies like more meat in ours

All looks delicous Fundj.  What are the balls in the middle photo?

my  Lasagna recipe is a very simple one CC
the KISS method 
for the bolognese  sauce

1 kg of mince
2.55 of tinnd tomatoes + 1/2 of that can of water
about 2 onions i used  onion confit so i didnt add any oil
4 bayleaf
thats it, no herb or spices not even basil 

I cook my  sauce for about 3 to 4 hours on the stove top , this sauce i made in the slow cooker so about 7 hours
its a very watery sauce

then i add a double batch of EDC bechamel sauce to the bolognese sauce, some times i cheat and just add cream or sour cream  i have not cheated since the TM


2pkts of Lasagna  sheets (500 grams )
mozzarella cheese
parmesan cheese optional i use it when i forget to add salt to the sauce

[judydawn]

That looks nice maddy, haven't done Chelsea's version yet.

Uni, are you saying you actually mix the bechamel sauce and the bolognaise sauce together, you don't layer it.

[fundj&e]

yes JD, thats what i am saying its the best way all of the flavors are mixed really well

[judydawn]

I like the idea Uni

M'y dh has some close family friends who are italian and they also do lasagna That way!...many layers of pasta with à thin layer of méat sauce!...i find it quite heavy like That and prefer thé versions aussies are used to 

[fundj&e]

my sisters husbands is from calabria and she adds a hard boiled eggs to each layer ,just like hes mummy used to 

[andiesenji]

I have some homemade sausage given me by a neighbor:  Pork and veal with pineapple and ginger.  A new combination he is trying out on family and friends before making it to sell in his shop. (He owns a small licensed abattoir and butcher shop, a rare thing today here in the states.)

I'm cooking yet another pot of beans - these in the slow cooker, Organic great northerns.   And I plan to cook some greens with Savoy cabbage to up the vitamin content of the meal.  Another neighbor who is currently on her own as her men are off on a hunting trip, will join me for dinner. 
I'm also going to bake a batch of cornbread.
