Easy Gooey Lasagna

Lasagnas are one of the most favorite among cheese lovers…agree or not???? These are the yummiest combination of pasta sheet layered with white sauce, flavorful meat sauce overloaded with cheese. I love such gooey ones than the perfectly layered lasagnas.No one can resist this even if they know it’s rich and heavy. But who makes it frequently write?

First of all sorry for the bad pictures. I don’t like taking pictures at night, but such cheesy meals we need to serve hot know, so no other choice for me.😟I mostly make such dishes when there is a guest, so calories will be parted equally! hehe! All such red sauce recipe needs loots f tomatoes pureeing them and bla bla. But here I’ll make it easy for you and believe me it tastes real yum. I use tomato paste instead of tomatoes. You can also use canned tomatoes. I’m sure you will love this.

For this the bottom of the pan is layered with white sauce, this is to prevent sticking the sheet to the pan. Then layered with lasagna sheet, meat sauce, some more white sauce, and then lots of Cheese. repeat the layers until the filling is over. Bake and dig in!
