Lasagna
Its pronounced Lazanya, please dont ask me why its spelled that way, i just know how to cook it 
Lasagna is basically flat pasta which is sandwiched with red and/or white sauce and various veggies.
Click for the recipe for white sauce.
For the Red Sauce:
Chop 10 medium sized tomatoes.
In a heavy bottomed vessel, heat 8-9 tablespoons of olive oil. Add 3 cloves of finely chopped garlic and 20 basil leaves. Add 3/4th the chopped tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of powdered jaggery, cover the lid and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes until the tomatoes are cooked stirring occasionally. Add the rest of the tomatoes and cook for a further 5-7 minutes. Add salt to taste.
With a hand mixie, whirrrrr, but take care not to blend to a smooth consistency, leave the sauce a bit chunky.
In another pan, heat olive oil and add coarsely chopped veggies of your choice and lightly stir fry them. I used broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms and carrots. Add salt to taste.
Grease the baking tray with butter. Cover the bottom of the tray with a thick layer of red sauce. Add sheets of lasagna. Add layer of red sauce and a layer of the veggies. Add sheets of lasagna, if using white sauce as well, now layer with white sauce and veggies. Add sheets of Lasagna.
Repeat the process alternating red and white sauce, veggies and lasagna sheets. Finish off with red sauce on the top. Sprinkle some grated cheese, cheddar or mozzarella is great, you can experiment with gorgonzola as well.
If you were using just the red sauce, then alternate layers should have some cheese sprinkled in between them.
There should be at least 8 layers. 12-15 layers is best. Just go on making layers until you run out of pasta sheets, veggies or sauces
Bake at 250 deg for 20ish minutes till the cheese has melted and browned.
Serve hot with buttered bread.

My recent most (16th march) visit to big chill and the lasagna (mushroom and spinach) there made me wonder if it is very difficult to cook it. And would I be able to do it as easily as the pasta..
This recipe is absolutely fantastic cuz you make it sound so easy, Bau.
Thanks a ton !

khurshed, i love your recipes. a couple of tips which may be obvious for a pro like you, but is puzzling for a novice like me. like you seem to be skipping mentioning salt (and pepper) in your recipes. do you really skip them or just dont mention it coz its obvious? also, in this recipe is the baking time 2 mins or 20 mins?
thanks a ton, especially for your pasta recipes.
lasagna is sitting in my oven right now, getting baked and i am going to bake it for 20 minutes and take a chance. 
aww bau this looks so yummy!! one day i’ll have lunch cooked by you with or without the blog’s competition
