Chicken Lasagna
Recipe by
Trish yee
Lasagna is a layered pasta sheet spread with meat sauce and cheese. Extremely sinful but delish to eat. Lasagna is my kind of comfort food to have on a movie night at home. You can add your favourite mushrooms or vegetables with any kind of meats. For vegetarian options, you can omit the meat and use tomato based sauce.

Add in your other vegetables (zucchini, eggplant, capsium) and continue to saute until cooked.
Lastly add in herbs and chopped tomato and add approx 200 mls of water and cook through until thick-ish and chunky. This should take approx 10-15 minutes. Do not over reduce - you will need some water content in the ragu to cook the pasta sheets later.
