Lasagne, Friends beg to be invited to dinner when they hear I’m cooking lasagne. Over the years I have changed my recipe to make it as healthy as possible. My mom gave the recipe to me years ago and since then has asked me to make lasagne because my turns out better than hers! The “secret” ingredients of sugar and baking soda cut the acid flavor out of the tomatoes. You may want to add them gradually & taste test as some tomatoes are more acidic is that a word? than others. To save time, garlic and onion powder may be substituted for the minced garic & chopped onion. If time allows, refrigerate lasagne for a day before cooking. This allows the sauce to seep through the noodles. If lasagne is refrigerated, bake an additional 10-20 minutes. I have heard you don’t have to boil the noodles if lasagne is prepared a day or more ahead of time. I’ve never been daring enough to do this. Please let me know if you try it., Great recipe!. used fresh tomatoes, which I stewed while browning the meat beef and pork. Following other reviewers’ suggestion, used tsp of soda. It was perfect. used the spices as suggested except using more salt. My daughter asked for lasagna for her birthday. This recipe helped me to make a perfect gift. Thank you., This was the best lasagne I think that I have ever tasted. Our family loved it. used beef instead of chicken. I had fresh tomatoes in the freezer that I cooked down to be the tomatoes and tomato paste, so I didn’t need to try the sugar and baking soda trick. Thank you for the recipe. Even a dairy free version of this is good. I just mashed up firm tofu in place of cheeses. Oh, and I forgot the parmesan. It was fantastic without it. Definitely going in the family cookbook.
