If you are looking for a really easy lasagne recipe, then you’ve just got to try our four cheese lasagne – it’s amazing!
This wonderful recipe is another in our ‘Cooking with our family‘ series.
This time it’s from Becky who is Janes cousins wife and a great cook.
When Becky suggested her legendary lasagne, we just had to include it as it’s always so popular at family gatherings.
Easy lasagne recipe
Like all of the recipes on our website, this is a really easy lasagne recipe.
We like to keep everything simple and easy to recreate at home.
Is there any meat in this four cheese lasagne?
Nope. This isn’t a traditional classic lasagne using beef and a tomato sauce. In fact we don’t use beef or tomatoes at all.
Instead we use cheese. A lot of delicious gooey cheese.
For cheese lovers everywhere, this is the perfect lasagne for you!
Which cheese is best for lasagne?
By mixing the cheeses like we’ve done in this lasagne, you’ll get a lovely cheesy depth to your lasagne.
We use four different types of cheese; cheddar, ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan.
We also make it with a tasty cheese sauce instead of white sauce.
Just the thought of all of these cheeses in the lasagne is enough to make my mouth water!
What can I serve with four cheese lasagne?
We’d recommend serving this lovely lasagne dish with a fresh green salad.
If you wanted something a little heartier, then a chunk of crusty bread or chunky chips (fries) would also be a great option.
How do you make homemade lasagne?
It’s actually easier than you think.
It’s all about layers and good lasagne sheets (or pasta noodles for our international cooks).
You layer cheese, cheese sauce, add baby spinach, top it off with a layer of lasagne sheets (pasta noodles) and then repeat, at least twice and even better, three times.
Pop it in the oven in a large oven proof dish for 20 minutes to bake and you’ll soon be enjoying this delicious cheesy lasagne.
We’ve given you a step by step easy guide below, even you follow that, then you can’t fail.
For our international cooks who use cups, then just underneath the ingredient list, you’ll notice a toggle button – just press that and voila, they will be converted!
