... Lasagna in the microwave...

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

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

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!
