Lasagne update
It's zucchini season again, so it's zuch lasagne time. This year I've been making them with a cheese sauce, rather than using ricotta. Not for any particular reason other than it's something I can make from ingredients in the cupboard and fridge, when there ain't no ricotta. Also Harry knows how to make a cheese sauce and getting a six-year-old involved in the making of dinner is ALWAYS a good way to go. So, without further ado, the cheese sauce, should you ever need to replace the ricotta from I ♥ ricotta, here it is...
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1 cup milk
salt
pepper
good handful grated cheese (1/2 - 1 cup)
tbsp wholegrain mustard (optional)
- Melt butter in saucepan. When melted add flour and briskly stir in - this makes what is called a roux. Add half of the milk, stirring constantly, so the mixture binds and is free of lumps.
- Add rest of milk, grind in some salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.
- Add cheese and mustard, stir through. Continue to stir as sauce thickens.
- Turn off heat, sauce will continue to thicken.
