Food is on my mind this morning, which doesn’t help me when I can only afford a £1 sushi pack for lunch. This is what happens when you suddenly decide to jet off to Barcelona for the bank holiday weekend…
Anyway:
My Creamy Lasagne Mess
Ingredients: Leeks, shallots, garlic, oregano, mascarpone, bacon, lasagne sheets, piccolo/sunstream tomatoes, parmesan.
- Cook bacon pieces in a dry pan and set aside
- Add chopped garlic, leeks and shallots to the pan
- Stir in a little bit of oregano
- Put bacon back in pan
- Dollop in small amounts of mascarpone until it’s the consistency that you want, adding milk/white wine if it’s too thick
- Ladle a thin layer into a baking dish
- Cover with lasagne sheets
- Spoon in another layer of leeks etc and grate some parmesan over the top
- Another layer of lasagne sheets and so on
- Top the lasagne with strips of bacon, grated parmesan and halved tomatoes
- Bake until golden and bubbling
Boyfriend would probably insist we add chicken to this, but I don’t really think it needs it. I’d also probably add whatever we had around the house, like courgette and carrot diced real fine. This also makes a yum risotto, to which I’d probably add Gruyère rather than parmesan. God I’m hungry.
Am I right? Tell me!
