Broken Beef Lasagna

I have been wanting to make a lasagna but I was always afraid to try it out until my Aunt from Sweden came for a visit and prepared one for her boyfriend. And last Thursday, my friends came over and I made one - it was good but I think it lacked sauce on the top most layer thus it came off a little dry (not sure if this should be the term but yeah, it looked like it).

So, I decided to recreate it earlier :)

Ingredients

2can Large Tomato Sauce /Spaghetti Sauce

1pack Lasagna Pasta

1pack All Purpose Cream

1can Sliced Mushrooms

3cups Ground Beef

2cups Regular Cheese (grated)

1/2cup Parmesan Cheese

2tbsp Butter

Gloves of Garlic (thinly chopped)

Onions (thinly cubes)

Tomatoes (cubes, optional)

A Pack of Singles Cheese (optional)

A Dash of Black Pepper

A Dash of Basil

A Dash of Oregano

A Dash of Thyme

Garnish (OPTIONAL)

Parsley

Olives

Blue Cheese

In making the sauce, it is the same procedure as making a spaghetti sauce that's why I didn't make a photo of it but here are the steps:

1. Sautee Garlic and Onions with Butter until lightly brown.

2. Add Beef, A Dash of Black Pepper, A Dash of Oregano, A Dash of Basil. Mix until Beef is Brown. Add Mushrooms.

3. Add in Grated Cheese. Add All Purpose Cream. Mix until Cheese melts.

4. Add in Tomatoes and simmer until tomatoes are soft.

5. Add Tomato Sauce. Stir and Mix. Simmer for 6 minutes.

6. Set aside.

1. In a bake ware, Layer Lasagna Pasta evenly.

2. Pour in Sauce and spread evenly making sure that the sauce poured isn't too thick. 

3. Topped Sauce with Cheese, A Dash of Thyme and Parmesan Cheese.

4. Repeat procedure 1 to 3 (for this recipe I made it to three layers)

5. Once you've reached top most layer. Cover with enough sauce and top with parmesan cheese.

6. Bake to 360 degrees until pasta is soft.

Finish Product. Garnish with Olives, Blue Cheese and Thyme :)

PS Called it Broken Beef Lasagna because unlike other lasagnas served in restaurant this one was still too hot when I sliced it and it felt like the entire serving broke into pieces but one thing I learn a while back is to let it cool for a bit so that the sauce would sip into the pasta and would make it hold :D

Enjoy cooking and eating! Happy weekend :)
