Lasagne question

[Nadine]

Do you put the pasta sheets into the dish first and start layering from there, or do you start off with the mince first?

Thanks

[Amelia]

I put sheets first cause it makes it easier to serve!!

[Nadine]

Yes this is what i normally do, for that exact reason

How do you keep the bottom sheets from going crispy/hard? Sometimes the bottom ones are soft but other times they don't cook properly and harden instead.

I usually put a layer of sauce first then pasta as this helps it to stop sticking to the bottom. Works for me!

I put a couple of teaspoons of water in the bottom to keep them moist and they don't stick to the bottom either that way!!

[Trish]

I put the mince first too.

[~Belinda~]

I spray the dish with spray first and then lay a sheet first. I use those fresh latina sheets too, they don't stick to the bottom! Yumm...sounds noice

[*MinKy*]

I always put the sheets down first...I havent had a problem with the hardening, maybe because I make my sauce just a smidge runnier..

[Nadine]

Thanks so much ladies

Sounds like I need to try out a few different methods. Since it doesn't happen all the time, it might be that those times it doesn't happen my sauce is runnier... I will try making it a tad moister today and see if that helps.

Thanks again

I put the mince down first also - but only a little bit - enought to cover the bottom thinly - stops the sheets from sticking!

I put a small amount of water in first then lasgana sheets.

I then put mince and thin layer bechamel sauce and cheese and repeat with pasta etc.

On top of top pasta i put a thick layer of bechamel sauce and coat in grated cheese!!

Oh so yum and oh so not healthy!!

[~Belinda~]

[Enchanted]

I put mince first too

[Tyige]

I mix a teaspoon of mince with some water and put that in the bottom.

i will be making it tomorrow night when we get home!

[~Belinda~]

I only bought sheets yesterday! I am making a chicken and vegetable one! YUMMY, thanks for putting the idea into my head!!

I always put a bit of the mince down first, but not much. Just enough to slightly cover the bottom of the dish. Then the sheets don't stick.
I made a curried tuna one the other night & it was great!!
