Lasagna in a Llanera

I've been craving for lasagna since the start of the week. So last Monday, I bought a slice of mozarella cheese.  But my mother kept on cooking nice dinner everyday so my plan of making lasagna has been pushed back until Thursday night.

Our oven at home is a tiny oven toaster, just enough for two slices of bread.  So I searched online about the possibility of baking lasagna using that tiny appliance.  And the results are affirmative.  I also searched if the microwave can also be an alternative. And again, it was positive.

So last night, I bought the ingredients at FairPrice finest (love that grocery :)).  Fresh ground beef, lasgna noodles, zucchini, bolognese sauce, capsicum and egg.  I was looking for ricotta cheese but I cant find any.  I also bought a tiny baking dish hoping that it will fit into our tiny oven toaster but it didnt.  I was excited pa naman.  So I thought of just using the microwave instead of the oven toaster.  But the paper pasted on the baking dish advises against using the dish in a microwave. Bummer.

Buti na lang, we had a llanera which saved the day! As what they say, necessity is the mother of all inventions (or something like that).  So the llanera that is most usually known for leche flan was reinvented as a baking dish for my lasagna.

It was my first time to cook lasagna and I was glad it turned out well :) We partnered it with boiled mixed vegetable, fresh romaine lettuce (no dressing) and a bottle of white wine.
