My Wise Food Diary plus Photos

[Kwise1]

A quick question for advice (as you are the advice queen )- I am making lasagne on Thursday for a friend of mine. How many layers of pasta should I use ? And what order should I layer in the dish ? I haven't made it for years and years - eeeek !

Thanks very much in anticipation.

Hi Gail
It depends on the size of your dish. Lay them in your dish and add an extra 1 per layer . I spray my dish with frylight first then lay the pre-soaked lasagne first then repeat ending with lasagne. I top with cheese sauce. So I use about 12 sheets. I will post my recipe.

I have a few choccie recipes - but more recently have resorted to Thorntons Moments.Today I have bought some Thorntons Caramel Melt thingies - they look yummy . I perused the whole choccie aisle looking at calories on the side and using the 1 SYN per 20 cals rule.

Kay that's excellent news, well done, I'm really pleased for you. I'll be having a go at that meatloaf sometime in the not too distant future. And the mushroom risotto. Thank you so much btw for taking the time to post up your recipes.
