Filipino Pasta Anyone?

Usually when you attend a Filipino party there will always be pasta on the dinner table....this maybe a macaroni salad,baked macaroni,spaghetti in red sweet sauce or any which way you cook your pasta. I assure you there will always be pasta... Why..it feeds thousands..less expensive but fill everyone's stomach ...again ...why...pasta is carb and it bloats once it is jumbling around your stomach...wallahhhh...everyone is filled...secret of a full happy party....

But for me I cook lasagna...it is still pasta, the same ingredients but it looks different...When we are invited to a party we usually think of what kind of food waiting for us..right? We even prepare ourselves hungry 1 hour before the said feast...But once we arrive and still see the same old chow we loose our appetite and decide to jump right into dessert.

Lasagna is a good solution...something new in the eyes...still fresh from the oven..enticing to the eyes...Im sharing you a short and easy steps to cook lasagna...

  1. Mom i saw your youtube video.Cottage cheese is expensive.I'll teach you an alternative. Bechemel white sauce. This sauce helps your lasagna less fluffy and stay firm. Here is the ingredients and method.i hope this helps

    Ingredients
    * 60g butter, chopped
    * 1/3 cup plain flour
    * 4 1/2 cups milk
    * 75g parmesan cheese, finely grated
    * 1/4 teaspoon salt
    * good pinch ground nutmeg
    Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until foaming. Add flour. Cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes or until bubbling. Remove from heat. Slowly add milk, whisking constantly, until mixture is smooth. Return to heat. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, for 10 to 12 minutes or until sauce comes to the boil, thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from heat. Stir in parmesan, salt and nutmeg.
