I know, I know... it doesn't turn out anything close to what a real lasagna, baked in a conventional oven tastes like. But when you're in a situation where all you have is a microwave, not even a stove, can you get lasagna?
I sure did. It doesn't involve white sauce, which makes it a little healthier too.
This blog is NOT an online cookbook, but I am going to cut myself some slack this time around.
So...
Ingredients:
Serves 2-3
Serves 2-3
Uncooked Lasagna : 200 g
Water: 4 glasses
Salt: 1/2 tsp
Oil: 1/2 tsp
K&N chicken tikka chunks: smallest pack
Spaghetti sauce: Use sparingly
Cheese slices (mozzarella): 5-6
Cheese slices (cheddar): 5-6
Water: 4 glasses
Salt: 1/2 tsp
Oil: 1/2 tsp
K&N chicken tikka chunks: smallest pack
Spaghetti sauce: Use sparingly
Cheese slices (mozzarella): 5-6
Cheese slices (cheddar): 5-6
What to do:
- Fill the LARGEST bowl you have with water, enough to fit 3-4 glasses of water. Make sure water doesn't spill over.
- Add salt and oil.
- Microwave for 15 minutes, or until you can see the water boiling.
- Add lasagna strips. Break them in half if they won't fit.
- Microwave for 15-18 minutes.
- Drain lasagna and wash under cold, running water. Leave to drain.
- Spread K&N's chicken chunks out on a plate.
- Microwave for 3-4 minutes, on the defrost mode.
- Layer a deep Pyrex pan with lasagna strips (3-4).
- Spread spaghetti sauce on top.
- Break chunks into crumbs and sprinkle.
- Continue layering like this.
- Top with Lasagna strips and cheese slices, cut into strips too.
- Sprinkle ground black pepper/ground red pepper/paprika/oregano (optional)
- Microwave for 4 minutes... and you have it!
