1. woke up real early today..

2. went to jusco to get a few ingredients for my lasagna..

3. my first lasagna..

4. it wasn't that hard to make. all these while i thought it would take such a long time and so much hassle to cook up a lasagna. hell, i was wrong.

5. three things : you gotta be sure of;
5.1 meat/chicken sauce (spaghetti sauce - i use mushroom+chicken)
5.2 cheese sauce
5.3 lasagna sheets (soak in water for a few minutes to moisten it)

6. How to make the cheese sauce?
melt 2tbsp butter in a saucepan (low fire)
add in plain flour 2tbsp
stir for 2 minutes
off fire
pour in 2 cups milk
stir well
then on fire
keep stirring till become thick sauce
add in cheddar cheese 115g (i used about 10 slices of the processed cheddar cheese)
off fire when all the cheese have melted

7. grease lightly your casserole dish. preheat oven to 180C.

8. pour in meat sauce FIRST. followed by lasagna sheets, meat sauce, cheese sasuce, lasagna sheets, meat sauce, cheese sauce.. it goes on and on till the top..

9. make sure the top is cheese sauce. IF you have Parmesan cheese, drizzle 'em all over the dish. i just use cheddar cheese.

10. cover the top with aluminium foil and bake for 25minutes.

11. after that, take off the foil and bake for another 25minutes.

12. delicious!! yummy!! didn't get to take a picture of it when it's done..
but this is it after a while..
