How much lovely gooey tomato puree should I put in Lasagne?

29 Dec 2007

OK - I've just come downstairs to find Angelica snoozing on the sofa when she's supposed to be getting me dinner!! (Sound familiar fellas?)
Working on the theory that one should let sleeping angels lie I recalled that she said Lasagne was on the menu tonight.
Now I'm a pretty mean bolognese sauce maker at the worst of times. It comes out of the Dolmio jar dunnit? After that those who know me well will testify how good a stirrer I can be wink

.
Soooo....
In goes the beef seasoned browned and properly shredded so it doesn't come out lumpy.
In goes the two largest cloves of garlic I can find (look out neighbours tomorrow).
In goes the mushrooms, chopped tomatoes (glass of Leffe Brown fer Angelica delivered to the sofa) followed by the Dolmio.
Then I thought 'I should turn pro and put some tomato puree in this'. I find the new tube - but 'How much?' dunno

( I squirted the whole tube in and threw it away so she wouldn't see) Looks quite sort of red it does. redface

:scared:
She won't notice will she?
If anyone can introduce a swinging facet to this piece of nonesense then I'm an Italian!

Tune....you can NEVER use enough tomato puree in lasagne or spag bol (I use around half a tube of double concentrate stuff per recipe!!).......
I LOVE the stuff, and quite often, when I am using it I will squirt some onto my tongue directly from the tube redface

ops: mmmmmmmmmm :inlove:

Ewwwwwwwwwww!!! I do hope you include the double concentrate vodka and tabasco sauce with that, directly to the tongue :shock:
Chooon hunny, I know the solution - you gotta go get another lot of meat, mushrooms and garlic, to add to it - then surely, if you double the ingredients, it will make the double concentrate puree half as strong, ie single normal concentrate :thumbup:
Then you gotta invite people round to eat the banquet of lasagne cool

8-) 8-)
And now I've got my shoe all twisted, trying to put it on too quickly!!! See you shortly :bounce:

Mushrooms in a Lasagne???
Pack of mince (beef or turkey), one chopped onion, 1-2 cloves of garlic, tin of chopped tomatoes, half-to-one tube of tomato puree, dash of tabasco, splash of worcestershire sauce, half a glass of red wine, one beef oxo cube, teaspoon of oregano.
Fry the onion, add the mince and garlic and simmer until cooked all the way through. Add the rest of the ingredients. The sauce should be red in colour (not reddish-brown). A dash of tomato ketchup also can add a good twist to the flavour although I find I don't need it with the other stuff I put in.
Cook until almost all of the juice has boiled down to a thick gloop so it doesn't over-soak your sheets of lasagne. Never fails.....

Well hello folks!
Contrary to the rumours I am alive and well despite him making the sauce last night. In fact it was nearly up to my standard. wink

And yes FB my Yorkshire pud tonight was almost as good as yours.
I think it'll take a bit more practice for them to get a rise as well as you seem to! :wink:
