    Default any good premade lasagna?

    I've tried the Woolworths own brand one "fresh" not frozen, wasn't too bad..

    I just bought a chicken one "Pasta Master" brand, and its pretty crappy, tastes like canned spaghetti mixed with chicken...

    anyone else tried any? lol

    Can't say i have had ANY good pre-made lasagne. The only decent lasagne i have ever had was made from scratch.

    I'm Italian so Lasagne has only ever been homemade for me. Same goes for pasta sauces, pizza and sometimes the pasta itself

    premade can be good, the ONE that was nice was bought from woolworth & is made at the store itself.

    Anyway its about 30 minutes to make sauce & mince then an hour for baking not hard at all

    I'm not Italian, I cant stand any "pasta" meal pre-made. I rather make my own & freeze it for later.

    Just make it yourself.

    I have it in a beginners cookbook and the hardest part is making the white sauce (I use a whisk instead of a wooden spoon, stops it going lumpy)

    Takes darn good

    being italian myself id say theres not a whole lot of differance between a good off the shelf premade (not mcain/cheap frozen) and homemade lasagne. if you want a good tasting pasta the only way is to make the pasta fresh yourself & make the meat/sauce with authentic ingridients. you wouldnt belive the difference just using a quality oil, homemade sheets/pasta & fresh ingridients can make.

    No frozen lasagne is going to compete with a homemade lasange.

    lol @ white sauce, for me, i use homemade pasta and the white sauces is egg wash and ricotta, anything else kills the flavour.

    Why do you need to melt it down? Melting down ricotta is not a white sauce, a white sauce is made with cornflour milk and butter.

    the eggwash with the ricotta makes it like cream.

    Sara Lee make a pretty decent Lasagne, its a large one, about 6 servings worth, but as far as pre cooked ones go, its the best in my book.

    Cant beat homemade though

    Im not much of a lasagne conosoir, and any crap will do me. I used to find he Bi-Lo brand single serve lasagne's were ok. I used to just throw it in the oven at work for crib. But alot of bi-lo's are gone now, due to coles gong broke and shutting them down.

    It's not white sauce, it's Besciamella.

    My wife is Italian, her grandmother makes the best lasagne I have ever tasted. Traditional all the way. It depends on your tastes though.

    My opinion is that there is no good premade lasagne, or any pasta dish.

    Yep italians do it best, my Aunty is italian she taught me everything she knows, she is southern though so cooking styles do vary.

    My mum is Italian, was born in Trieste.

    I can't stand the ready made stuff from the supermarket.

    I buy the egg pasta and make the sauces myself, from recipes translated from an old Triestina cookbook my mum has.
