TOP TIPS FOR MAKING LASAGNE

  • For a carb free meal, replace the lasagne sheets with squash or sweet potato sheets you can buy in supermarkets.
  • For a creamier white sauce use half double cream.
  • The lasagne can be frozen uncooked for up to 3 months. Defrost thoroughly before oven baking.

  5. The lasagna looks wonderful. I'm surprised your husband can't tell there's celery in it though. I hate celery and can taste it immediately.

    Do you have the recipe for the malt loaf? I am from Devon but now live in the US and one thing I really miss is sticky malt loaf. They don't sell it over here.

  8. Beth, Thanks for the link to the malt loaf recipe.
    I lived in Torquay and spent two weeks a year on holiday in St. Ives. Right now I am very homesick and wish I was back there enjoying a 99 cone!
