No-Bake Lasagna Recipe for New Year Media Noche

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The No-Bake Lasagna recipe I got from the Internet requires Parmesan, Mozzarella and Quickmelt grated cheeses, plus evaporated and powder milk, also all-purpose cream, flour, cornstarch, butter,.... then tomato sauce and paste for the ground beef added with onion, garlic, basil leaves, pepper, powder, salt, soy sauce, sugar... ..and of course, the lasagna pasta.

NO BAKE LASAGNA PASTA RECIPE:

Ingredients:

500 Grams Lasagna Pasta
1 Kilo Ground Beef
1 Kilo Hunt's Tomato Sauce Basil and Cheese Variant
3 Tbsp Tomato Paste (this will make sauce thick in texture)
1 Cup Finely Chopped White Onion
1 Head Garlic Finely Chopped
Pepper Powder
4 tbsp Soy Sauce
Salt
1 tbsp Sugar
Dried Basil Leaves
1 Can Nestle All Purpose Cream
3 Tbsp Cornstarch dissolved in 3 tbsp water
Grated Mozzarella Cheese
Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 Grated Box Quick Melt Cheese

Bechamel Sauce Ingredients:
Unsalted Butter
6 Spoon Flour
1 Cup milk - any powdered milk will do, dissolved in warm water. Powdered milk is rich in fat. The fat in this milk will help the sauce become thick
1 Large Evaporated Milk
1 Cup grated cheese

Bechamel Sauce:

This is the thick white sauce used for layering. In french cooking they call it roux. In Greenwich (fast food chain in Philippines) you can also see it on top of their Lasagna.

In very low heat, melt about 1/4 sliced of butter. Make sure not to burn it. It should look golden yellow. Once butter is in little bubbles mix flour, whisk it using fork, until it becomes egg like lump and paste like.

In low heat, slowly add full cream milk. Mix it thoroughly until it becomes consistently smooth that when you spoon it, the thickness will cover the spoon. Mix and cook around 2 minutes then slowly mix in evaporated milk until very smooth in texture.

Cool and set it aside for later use. This sauce will be use for bottom and top layer.

Lasagna Pasta:

Cook it for 13 minutes in boiling water with salt and 1 tbsp oil, cover and simmer. Make sure to mix it from time to time to avoid pasta from sticking on the pan. But be careful not to chip the lasagna.

Once cooked, drain and set aside.

Sauce:

It makes Lasagna stick to all other ingredients without the need to bake it. Just the sticky sauce, Cheeses and Bechamel Sauce. No need for baking.

Saute Garlic until light brown, followed by Onion until translucent.

Add in Ground Beef, salt pepper, soy sauce and basil.

Pour in Tomato Sauce and simmer for few minutes and mixing it to avoid sticking from the pan.

Add in Tomato paste and diluted Cornstarch, Nestle All Purpose Cream.

Add in sugar and salt to adjust taste.
Simmer and mix for 2-3 minutes

Sprinkle Grated Mozzarella Cheese
Once Mozzarella is melted. We're ready to layer it in the pan!

How to Layer:

Spread Bechamel Sauce (bottom)
Combined Lasagna Pasta and Beef Sauce (2nd layer)
Bechamel Sauce (3rd layer)
Quickmelt cheese (4th layer)
Parmesan cheese

Cooking tips: Use more mozzarella to make every lasagna slice more cheesier as presented in the photo.

Ready to serve. Enjoy!!!

I will be cooking it tomorrow late afternoon so it will be ready for dinner.

Did I miss any ingredient? Is my cooking procedure correct?

Aside from this yummy foods you may also try Lectin free protein bars, see the usual paradox recipes and lectin free foods for your diet.

Outcome:

I made a booboo on the lasagna pasta because they got stuck to each other during boiling... So the supposed to be rectangular pasta sheets got all shredded into pieces. Lol!

But the end result of the no-bake lasagna was more than OK since my kids said it was delicious thanks to all yummy ingredients that are included in the bechamel sauce, the lasagna sauce, plus all that grated cheese on top.

In the end, it's still the taste that will tell if your dish will sell or not. The looks or presentation could add to the appetite, but it will immediately be excused and forgotten after the first bite.

The tray was half-done during dinner, and it's still 3 hours before New Year Media Noche. They just couldn't wait to try it, repeatedly.

Maybe next year I will be able to perfect it, or try something else more challenging...hehehe :)
