Ingredients:

500 grams tofu, cut into wafer thin slices 

Four sheets of Lasagna cooked till al dente

200 grams mushrooms diced and sauteed in a little butter and garlic

200 grams chopped spinach

200 grams of cheese, grated

Olive oil

Salt

For the Tomato Sauce: 

500 grams of tomatoes, blanched and chopped fine; basil, cloves (5)and minced garlic(1 tsp); salt and 2 cups water. In a saucepan, put all the ingredients together and bring to the boil. Reduce flame and let sauce simmer for 20 minutes or longer, if you want it thicker!

For the Lasagna Preparation:

Brush the bottom of a baking tin(use one which fits the cooked lasagna sheet snugly) with olive oil. Place one lasagna sheet on the oiled bottom of the tin.  Spread over the lasagna sheet some of the prepared tomato sauce and grated cheese. Cover the layer of  tomato sauce and grated cheese with tofu slices. On top of the tofu layer, place a layer of mixed spinach and mushroom and sprinkle over a little more grated cheese. Place another sheet of Lasagna over the spinach, mushroom and grated cheese layer. Once again, spread over the lasagna sheet tomato sauce and grated cheese. Continue like-wise till you fill up the tin or till all the ingredients are used up!

Fully cover the top of the Tofu Lasagna with grated cheese and bake in oven on mark 5 for  20 minutes.

Now you can have your baked macaroni even though you don’t have oven at home. You just need to use your non-stick cooking wares, preferably Tefal if you have or might be Inos Surgical cooking wares. Here are the steps and ingredients for your “no bake, baked macaroni”

Ingredients:

1/2kilo Macaroni (twist or salad pasta)

½ kilo ground pork or beef

400gms tomato or spaghetti sauce

200g cheese

3 cups of water

Salt to taste

Black pepper- powder (optional)

Steps:

1.       Mix pasta, ground pork/beef, tomato/spaghetti sauce, salt and pepper (according to your taste) in your pan (non-stick pan) and mix thoroughly.

2.       Add the 3 cups of water and topped with grated cheese (half of 200 grams save the half)

3.       Cover and cook in a very low fire.

4.       After 15 minutes, mix thoroughly and check if the pasta is almost done. Check if you need to add more water. Water depends on your cooking ware. Inos cook ware need less water compared to Tefal. If you are using Tefal, you might be needing another cup of water.

5.       Grate the remaining cheese for the final toppings, cover and cook for another 15 minutes.

Note : The picture shows a cooked sauce. I use a left over spaghetti sauce for my menu. So, this is also ideal for left over spaghetti sauce. 

Works especially well if you have rice left over from dinner; chill it with soy sauce while heating up your other leftovers in a wok. After the other leftovers are heated up, and in the chilled rice.

Classic Pasta

Boil some water and cook the pasta according to directions. After al dente, leave it in the pot while you heat up some sauce in a saucepan. Add the pasta into the saucepan and toss before serving.

Omelet

Beat four eggs in a bowl; add in whatever ingredients you want, such as tomatoes, mushrooms, or scallions. Pour into a small pan; flip in half when mostly settled.

Quick Salad

Wash some greens; dice tomatoes and cucumbers, and whatever other vegetables you want. Serve with dressing.

Light Veggie Snack

Wash some celery sticks, carrot sticks, and cut an apple. Serve with peanut butter or hummus.

Many lasagna variations exist. Vegetable lasagna, lasagna without bechamel, chicken lasagna, meatless cheese lasagna, lasagna without any sauce (just vegetables and/or meat) or even lasagna without the pasta. When creating a lasagna, start with the main ingredient (ragu, vegetables, seafood, etc.), add a layer of bechamel, then one layer of pasta sheets and then the main ingredient again. Continue until the oven dish is full. End with a layer of pasta, spread some bechamel on top and sprinkle the cheese over it. Some recipes call for the bechamel to be mixed through the ragu or tomato sauce, while others tell you to layer it between the pasta and the ragu. This seems to be based on personal preference and taste. Besides sprinkling cheese on top of the lasagna, it’s also a good idea to mix some through the bechamel sauce, to give the lasagna some cheese flavor throughout, instead of just on top. Turn the heat off under the bechamel sauce before adding the cheese, or the sauce will become rubbery. When it comes to the pasta dough there is a choice between home-made pasta and store bought dried pasta. Since dried pasta is made with just water and flour and home made fresh pasta usually includes eggs, there is a distinct difference in flavour and texture. The main difference, however, comes from ease of use.

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil

1 large onion, finely chopped

3 lbs Minced beef

4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped or crushed

1 can chopped plum tomatoes

10-15 basil leaves, chopped or torn (or 1 tsp dried basil)

1/2 tsp dried oregano

5 crushed black peppercorns (or to taste)

1 tsp sea salt (or to taste)

1/2 tsp sugar

One pack of lasagna sheets

1 1/2 pints Bechemel Sauce *

Finely grated parmesan

* Bechemel Sauce:

1/4 cup (4 Tablespoons) butter

1/4 cup flour

2 cups milk

Salt, white pepper, and nutmeg, as desired

Melt the butter in a sauce pan. Add the flour and whisk together over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Do not allow to brown. Remove from heat and allow to cool nearly to room temperature.

Add hot milk and whisk to combine.

Add the salt, white pepper, and nutmeg, and heat till just simmering.

If desired, you may bring the sauce to a boil; once the béchamel sauce has come to a boil, lower the heat to low and very slowly simmer for about 45 minutes. Stir it often with a whisk to avoid sticking to the bottom. Do not allow the sauce to brown. The longer the sauce is simmered, the smoother it becomes due to the cooking and swelling of the starch grains

Preparation:

Heat the olive oil in a heavy base or non-stick pan over a medium-high heat. If the oil browns, turn the heat down.
Add the onion and fry until golden brown.

Increase heat to high and add the meat and garlic. Fry until brown. Minced/ground beef takes some time to cook well. Fry until there is little moisture left in the pan. If necessary, spoon out any excess fat.
Add the tomatoes, cover the pan and lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the bechemel sauce.

Pre-heat the oven to 375 f.

Mix the basil, oregano, salt & pepper in to the ragu.

Place a thin layer of ragu in the base of the ovenproof dish and cover with a single layer of pasta sheets. Spread a layer of bechemel sauce over the pasta. Repeat this until you run out of meat, making sure that you have enough bechemel sauce left to cover the top layer of pasta. Sprinkle the grated parmesan over the top. Place the dish in the oven on the top shelf and cook for about 45 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the sauce is bubbling.

What I liked about this product: I have had other frozen lasagna dinners in the past. In fact, I have had plenty of them from different brands. And, compared to most of those, I think this was one of the better ones.

First, the sauce had a decent flavor to it and I liked the fact the lasagna had plenty of meat and cheese in it; something many other brands skimp on. It was also very thick, which made it much more filling when I was eating it. I’ve had plenty of other brands that just didn’t leave me feeling full and, as a result of that, I felt like I wasted my money on them.

What I didn’t like about this product: As I said before, when compared to other frozen brands, this is easily one of the best. However, when compared to homemade, there is still a drop off in terms of quality. It’s close, but does fall a bit short.

Final Opinion: This is a decent frozen dinner. But, I would not recommend buying it if you are craving something homemade because you will be pretty disappointed.
