Filipino Lasagna



Lasagna is one of those dishes that is really tedious to make but definitely worth the effort. I got this recipe from my mom which I had some ingredients altered since I don't want my pasta to have so many stuff in it. Yep, just the plain ol' meat and cheese ;) Here are the ingredients that I used:

1 box of lasagna noodles (enough for 2 large baking dishes)
Grated quick melt cheese and parsely, as toppings

Bolognese or Meat sauce:
1 large pack of Del Monte spaghetti sauce (Italian style)
1 head of onion
5 cloves garlic
3/4 kilo ground round
1 large can of sliced mushrooms, separate the water and set aside
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil leaves
salt and pepper to taste
Maggi Magic Sarap

Bechamel sauce:
2 cans evaporated milk
1 cup butter
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2/3 cup all purpose flour
3 cups water

Guinataang Langka (Young Jackfruit Curry)

Being a working mom, I always look forward to weekends since it's the only time that I get to cook a lot and experiment in the kitchen. Here's what I made last weekend (with left overs I saved for Monday's baon). Guinataang Langka.
