How To Cook Lasagna The Short Cut Method

You'll need for a 3 - 4 person serve

  • 1/2 pound/ 250 gm chicken mince
  • a little oil
  • 1 ts garlic granules
  • 1 stock cube
  • 2 ts sugar
  • salt pepper
  • can of crushed tomatoes
  • 6 uncooked lasagne sheets
  • 1 1/2 c water
  • 1 1/2 c frozen peas
  • 2 c shredded tasty cheese

You'll need for this recipe a large skillet with a lid.

  • Heat a little oil in the skillet. Add garlic granules and meat. Fry till the chicken mince is cooked. Add stock cube and seasoning. It takes about 3 minutes

  • Toss in the can of tomatoes and water. Stir a little to even out the mixture

  • Break the lasagne sheets into the sauce. Break at least into quarter sizes, better if smaller

  • Stir so that the lasagne is well combined and mixed into the liquid. There's no need to be genteel about this

  • Cover, turn the heat down to medium high so that it still continues to bubble but won't burn. Leave covered for about 12 minutes

  • At the last five minutes, stir in the frozen peas

  • Then spread the cheese evenly over the top. Replace the cover and leave to cook for 5 mins.

That's it! Serve immediately with crunchy garlic bread and a fresh green salad.

Tips From Easy Recipes

  • It's okay to substitute with ground beef or turkey mince, but it just takes about 5 minutes longer to cook. Chicken mince does cook faster
  • Be sure you have garlic granules in your pantry - you get them from the supermarket and with this, it is so easy to add flavor to your recipes without the hassle and bother of crushing or mincing fresh garlic
  • For this easy recipe, to cook lasagna the short cut way, there's no neat layering of lasagna sheets so hoe in and give the sauce a good stir.
  • This is not a good recipe to proportionately increase ingredients as we're limited by the size of the skillet. Any more liquid or ingredients and you'll have to manage spills. 
  • The cheese topping hardens up as it cools
  • To make it more traditional, cook lasagna with more rather than less lasagna sheets
