Lasagna o’clock

May 6, 2018 By Mandarina Leave a Comment

Vegetarian Lasagna

It’s lasagna o’clock. I can’t think of another recipe that has the power to bring all the family together, with such joy and well hunger. :p Besides that lasagna is perfect to feed a crowd, and for a big family like mine, is the best Sunday lunch solution. No big family, no problem, you can enjoy your lunch and save the rest for later since lasagna freezes and reheats well. Imagine to have a delicious piece of homemade lasagna on the freezer whenever you need it. Sounds like heaven to me.

You can play with your favorite type of cheese, but when it comes to lasagna I go with the classic combination mozzarella and parmesan, then I loveeee to fill it with vegetables. This adds some layers of flavor and texture. To spice it up, I’m always in a big dilemma, should I go with basil, with oregano, or a combination of both. And you, what do you prefer?

Welcome to Mandarina Yum!

mmMy name is Ejona Varangu and I am a full time researcher in the telecommunication industry, and part time food blogger. I blog from a small apartment in Tirana, Albania, where I live with my better half and our two cats Weirdo and Pixel.

I started cooking in late 2013, when I decided to live alone, and I missed the great homemade dishes that my mum prepared, before that, I couldn’t even boil an egg by myself. Little by little I started experimenting with new ingredients and techniques and I loved every single minute of it. Find out more…
