Fuss Free delicious-ness!!

Recipe #28 & 29: Lasagne (+Bolognese sauce). This recipe was made back in January for our double dater couple. Chloe and I go on dates while our lovely boys have there bro-mance time together. 


First things first: I LOVE Lasagne! My mum never makes it enough and only makes it when we're having a dinner party and thats not very often at all. I have to beg and plead for Lasagne so I decided to make my own.. well Jamie's. 


You start with making the Bolognese sauce which takes 45 min to cook once everything is in the pot. Once that is cooked and looking delicious don't be tempted to give up and boil spaghetti. Keep going... keep going! It's worth it let me tell you!! 
    Preheat the oven and grate parmesan into the bolognese sauce. Tear and stir in any large basil leaves, keeping the smaller ones aside for later. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Soften your lasagne sheets by pouring hot water over the top and draining. 
    Spoon a third of the bolognese sauce in the bottom of an oven proof pan followed by a  lasagne sheet. Dollop a third of your creme fraiche and smooth it over to cover the lasagne sheets. Sprinkle with pepper, salt and a parmesan cheese. Repeat until you have no ingredients left and making the finishing layer of creme fraiche and parmesan. To make it look pretty add sliced tomato on top and the smaller basil leaves. 
    Cover with foil and bake for 20min in preheated oven. Remove foil and cook for a further 35min until bubbling and delicious.


One word. YUM!


I will make this again and again and again once this mission is over! The creme fraiche makes the sauce delicious and rich but with no fuss!  Just remember to keep on track after the bolognese is made because it is worth it!
