Readers digest has released an awful little book of recipes. I kinda got sick over the idea of making (home made) lasagna with the use of a microwave. So I'm just gonna post my little secret.
To make lasagna in 30 minutes, lets say a 3 level one with stacks of 2. You need the obvious. The cheese you wish to eat, hopefully some beef (you can use chicken too, or pork, even fish). Than an assortment of veggies (onions, garlic, maybe some dull peppers, and tomatoe paste to make a sauce). Of course your gonna need some vegetable/olive oil too.
Now than to make this happen in 30 minutes you need 2 pots, one small enough to hold you lasagna foils even after they go soft. And the other big enough to hold your lasagna (round enough to hold a rectangle).
In one you boil water (just fill the pot halfway), than cool down the flame allowing the water to gentle steam your foils into a warm moist, that they need to be. After which you gently place the softened foils onto a plate (they will stick together if you don't use a little oil).
Good in the other pot, you will put in all of you'r tomatoe "juice" adding garlic, onion, and meat, and whatever condiments you wish (like pepper oregano, and paprika?). Make sure your meat gets cooked well enough. Add water and oil if it dries up. More water than oil of course.
So now you have the 2 main pieces of lasagna. It's time to construct.
This is really the easiest part. You empty out you meat + sauce into another dish, place 2 foils of lasagna into the bigger pot, place your cheese (lots of it, try too think of the cheese as melting and holding the foils in place). Than another 2 foils on top, rotated at 90 degrees, place your meat and sauce, another 2 foils rotated at 90 degrees etc.
After which, whatever cheese and meat + sauce is left you can just pour on top, adding Dill to the very very top of the construction as a "flower". And water around the base, put a top on and when the pot steams again. It's done. Wait with the top on for the food to chill :).
The next step is just to put some more passion into the cooking.
You take your pot, you open your oven and you place the preparation with-in. (Usually in the middle, to much heat from below will burn the bottom foils, just a little....maybe you like that.)
Add how much heat you think is good (don't read this !!! 150c is more than enough). And you let it sit until you think its done....just to add a little 'burnt' to the cheese.
