This lasagna version was made with:
2 cans 400g Italian diced tomatoes
1 carrot, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
1 red capsicum, diced
1 cup basil, roughly chopped
1 onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, diced
500g minced pork
½ c pizza sauce
½ c tomato sauce
1 cup shredded tasty cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Bechamel sauce
50g butter
50g flour
900ml milk, warmed
Ground nutmeg and salt to taste
There is a recipe on the back of the lasagne packaging but I took on my instincts and added ingredients I felt was fit to a pasta dish and whatever it was that could be substituted for. Like for tomato paste, I had to use the leftover pizza sauce (her, garlic and onions) which was in the refrigerator half-filled, and some of the remaining tomato sauce (catsup) to add a bit of sweetness to the dish.
The lasagne dish turned out well, and as with all pasta dishes, tasted even greater the next day.
Another food fear overcome! We all have them and need to overcome the doubt in our minds to include some ingredients in our recipes.
