Lasagne (2)

LASAGNE ( 2 ) – A more luxurious and slightly more expensive lasagne sheet. Delicious and light, and holds its shape without breaking.I made this the day before and stored it in the fridge to assemble the next day. It stores very well.

INGREDIENTS:
125g cream cheese, at room temperature

2 eggs

A pinch of each, Garlic salt or garlic flakes and Italian herbs OR

Garlic and herb seasoning

1/2 teaspoon onion powder (available at spice shops or Woolworths) – optional

1/2 cup grated Parmesan

1 cup grated mozzarella
METHOD:
Heat oven to 190c.

Beat the eggs and cream cheese together until all the lumps have gone. Add the seasonings and Parmesan and beat to combine. Add the mozzarella and fold through the mixture. Grease and line a 33x25cm rectangle pan or dish. Bake for 20-25minutes. Cool before cutting. Depending on the size of your dish, you will either cut it into two halves, thereby providing two lasagne sheets, or into three, so that it will fit into a loaf pan.

The recipe for bolognaise is in Eats, or you can use your own recipe**

**Because it’s difficult to obtain a thick cheese sauce without using flour or cornstarch, I came up with this idea to use the same topping as I normally put on my boboti. It makes a delicious light, melt in the mouth, savoury custard, which sets beautifully without going stodgy**

INGREDIENTS: this quantity is sufficient for a loaf size lasagne, which serves 2-3 people. Double up the quantity for a bigger dish.

1 cup full fat yoghurt

2 eggs

Salt and pepper
Using a whisk, beat together the yoghurt, eggs and seasoning. This is the ‘white sauce’.

Grated mozzarella to sprinkle in between the layers.

Grated mature cheddar to sprinkle on top.

METHOD:
Start with a layer of lasagne sheet, followed by bolognaise, a layer of the egg/yoghurt mixture. Sprinkle liberally with mozzarella. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of grated mature cheddar. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature, but still warm. This allows the lasagne to be cut into neat squares.
