lasagne - without the cheese.

[spring-peeper]

gooey stringy melted cheese is what makes teh dish, not how its layered or the style of pasta.

i've have lasagne made with all types of pasta, including spaghetti and elbow macaroni and even ravioli. but in the end it was the cheese

You use elbow macaroni and you call it lasagne????

Bloody yanks

You should find some of those pills you can take so you can eat the cheese.

Vicodin?

indeed i once had a lasagna made of lobster and crab filled raviolis which were layered in between sauce and cheese

it was fucking unbelievable!

 

[spring-peeper]

no cheeeeese shock horror!

how the fuck do you go about making this shit for a start?

I've never ever ever eated lasagne ever.

but in a few days I shall conquer the beast.

Put a small amount of sauce at the bottom of the pan. Cover it with the lasagne shaped pasta. Cover with sauce. Add pasta. Cover with sauce. Add pasta. Cover with the last little bit of sauce.

Bake for about an hour at 350 degrees.

Let stand for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Serve with a nice salad and some warm (garlic) bread.

Yes, but not lasagne. It IS the shape that makes it.

 

[contadino]

yeah...you only really need the cheese for the sauce and topping and any roux sauce , mushroom, bechamel whatever would do for that and breadcrumbs for the topping ? or umm...umm thin slices bolied pots/ sweet pots?? i dunno...but its defenitly doable

Huh? No cheese in the sauce. It's just béchamel, and that's optional. Slices of mozzarella above each layer of pasta. Grated pecorino or parmesan on top.

Anything else isn't lasagna, pasta ripieni, or even appetising.

There are loads of recipes on-line TP you lazy fuck.

Pedantically speaking, 'lasagne' refers to the flat sheets of pasta. The dish of lasagne and meat and cheese that we know and love is called 'lasagne al forno' which roughly translates as 'lasagne with meat and cheese and stuff, nom'.

No it doesn't. Forno means oven.

Yes, cos I believed that forno meant 'meat and cheese nom'

TP, are you lactose intolerant, or just cheese averse?

Guessing that it's lactose intolerance, try this recipe: http://gotnomilk.wordpress.com/2007/10/29/lasagne/

Note that it is using Soy mozzarella and parmesan, so if the issue is cheese rather than lactose please say.

If going for traditional lasagne then make it without the cheese added to the bechemal... could try beating an egg yolk or two into it as well, so it'll still go golden and crispy on top.

Alternatively you could make a seafood lasagne. Another Italian rule I know is you don't mix cheese and seafood. So a seafood lasagne wouldn't have any parmesan, ricotta, mozzarella etc... (waits for people to go dashing to fave Italian cookbook for evidence to contrary).

Unless of course you're veggie, but a nice veggie lasagne would still work - make a nice italian tomato sauce, but some roasted veggies in (peppers, aubergine, red onion, fennel, rosmary, garlic etc. Make a bechamel sauce and layer it up - jobs a good 'un.

An italian housemate of mine also once made a mushroom and pea lasagne, that was really tasty...

indeed fpg...it is akin to a hamburger without the meat or duck a l'orange without the duck

Get lasagne recipe made with Bechamel sauce rather than cheese sauce and put bread crumbs on top instead of grated cheese.
Although Bechamel douse have quite a bit milk in it but its cooked down well.

So may be just have spaghetti bolognese in stead as it would be the same thing but with different shaped pasta?

 

[kittyP]

technically i don't think it could be called lasagne w/o the cheese

My ex's mum who was Italian use to always make lasagne with no cheese at all.
Just a basic white sauce in top.

Yep it has milk and butter but see post above that one.

 

[pengaleng]

I aint making it now, the shop had fuck all there, and theres no way on this planet I am gonna eat basic range mince, not fucking happening.

I'll do it when theres less snow and the shops actually have stock deliverys.

 

[damnhippie]

hmm

can you make white sauce with fake milk?? or does it not work?

if you can, then do a normal white sauce up from a roux and add some dijon mustard and salt and pepper. the dijon makes it taste cheesy even without cheese.

then do the layering thing as normal and finish with a big layer of white on top, with breadcrumbs like kittyp says.

i reckon that would taste awesome. but then i don't know if you can cook with whatsitcalled milk-free milk.

 

[pengaleng]

there is NOTHING white going anywhere near my food. end of fucking story. stop tryin to fob me off with your crazy white sauces. I care not for white sauce.

Just layer lasagne sheets and the meat (bolognese) sauce up with some bread crumbs on top for a crunch (or not) then.
It will be perfectly nice, don't listen to these lasagne fascists!

 

[subversplat]

White sauce is ming. These are my two cents.
