Lasagna is one of the oldest types of pasta and it uses a bit more cheese than most other recipes. It is a perfect Sunday Breakfast and kids will go gaga over it. It can also be on the list of your most frequented restaurant food menu at home.
I want all of you to have the recipes that can be made with the ingredients that you’ll are most comfortable with and also easily available at your home without any hassle. Like in this recipe I have made use of baby corn, red and yellow bell pepper, mushroom, capsicum. These are easily available at local markets near the house.
Another most important aspect about lasagna is Mozzarella cheese. It’s perfect for all the cheese lovers out there to satisfy their cravings. You can grate the cheese and use it as per your taste requirement. Keep lasagna in a pre-heated oven and bake at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes or till cheese melts and get golden brown.
